Mal alker is a great 1 clubman , by dint of his longevity & appearances , but then so is Paul Highton

Whether you would class him as a Salford ' Great ' or worthy of inclusion in some type of hall of fame is another matter . it so subjective .
As it's subjective , I'd put Peter Edwards ahead of Alker in the Hooker position , and it wasn't really Edwards chosen position .

Some players only appeared for a short time for Salford , but .' Burned Brightly '
Ken Gill , Neil Baker , Paul Shaw for example , Garry Jack even

Don't wish to get too bogged down in semantics but you can make a tenuous distinction between a great and a legend. A great is self-explanatory but subjective. A legend doesn't have to be a great but can be remembered decades later, whose story is romanticised while less people remember him as time goes on.

In that case King of the Shed will be delighted to see a certain Mr N.Baker inducted anytime soon then.

And David Highton.

I guess while we are in 'limbo' waiting for the new coach to be announced this is a reasonable distraction.

Fwiw, my choices are: David Watkins, Paul Charlton and Chris Hesketh.

I'd go with those 3 plus Maurice Richards, Colin Dixon and Kenny Gill,to start with.
However,as they're all from the same team we need perspective so you have to go back to Gus Rismans team plus Jack Brennan.
I think it's important to start with a legend that's still alive as he can help launch it.
On that basis it has to be Watkins.

Surprised that Rutcho hasn't been mentioned.

If you think of someone who wasn't at the club for a massive length of time but became a true Salford legend with his 100% commitment to the cause you'll struggle over the past couple of decades to think of anyone more worthy than Rutcho.

Couldn't agree more MR, Rutchos up there with my favourite ever Salford players. What a man.
