A mixture of things i gues which would differ from individual to individual.

1st Wigan's most decorated son
2nd He wore his heart on his sleeve
3rd He was a great rugby player if not maybe as good as others tbf but still a dam fine athlete.
4th True professional in his time here.

Not all of those easily apply to all legends however. I certainly wouldn't label Hanley under any of those apart from medal count and talent.

What’s the difference for example in Boston and Offiah?

Certainly a legend.
Not in the top 5 centres I have seen at Wigan but certainly the best captain.

No George Carmont was he.

Maybe Platt. Can't quite see Goodway, as much as I liked him. What about Phil Clarke or, my own favourite, Denis Betts?

If Craig Smith had been here longer, he could have been on this list. Remember him carrying our pack through that play off game against Leeds in 2003.

Certainly at present I feel Pat will go down as a legend. He's the front runner for Man of Steel in my eye's, and if can win that along with a couple of trophies he'll be classed as a legend. After all he's the best winger in the comp at present and has been for a long time, in fact he's probably the best outside back in the comp.
