Maybe this should be on the rumour thread but do remember someone saying he turned Bradford down! icon_lol.gif

Oh, Vasty says no so he can't be icon_rolleyes.gif

He did turn down Bradford. So then Vasty who do you class as a legend?

Quote: adam9641 "Oh, Vasty says no so he can't be If you look at the list t-r-i-n-i-t-y gave then you won't be far out. March was a good club man, a legend never, none of the modern day players could be classed as a legend. Cult Heroes maybe, but no where near a legend.

In fairness, turning down Bradford (allegedly) and just being at one club for over 10 years isn't compelling evidence to make someone a legend. I've only been watching since 1990 but I imagine he wouldn't get into a All Time Trinity XIII or even a Second XIII.

No knock-on March, a solid player at times, but nothing at all special.

Just think he is one of the players that comes close IMO. Can't think of any player I have seen play for Wakey that I class as a legend.

Just the way Vasty put it. He often thinks what he says you have to agree with icon_rolleyes.gif

Quote: adam9641 "Could David March be classed as a Wakey legend?

He was a top player for us and he was certianly Wakefield through and through. Showed his loyality when a few teams came in after him he could have easily gone.

Was werid the first season he was not about.'"
I think your barking up the wrong tree there adam, good loyal servant for wakefield but legend no

And neither really can I. Price could have been, but didn't stay. He certainly had the ability when he broke into the first team (and should have done a lot better than leaving us for Fev), Wright, same again, but injuries ruined him.

David March doesn't come close to either of them for ability or performances for Wakefield.

Until we go on and win something to make us proud (and avoiding relegation is not soemthing to celebrate or be proud of) and get us back to where that great team did from 1958-1969 then I don't see how anyone could displace those true legends of this club.

I'm sorry to bang on about it, but the word 'legend' is tarnished when used to describe good players, and sometimes not even that, when there are men who built this club, put it in the record books forever who are easily forgotten.

Like I said, I only started watching in 1990, but can read books, look at video, speak to people who saw these men in their primes to find out more the club than what I've seen in front of me!

The only player from the last 30 years who would qualify for me is Dave Topliss. Played for Trinity for most of his playing cereer, represented his country at international level, and although the team didn't win any silverware whilst he was a player, we did get to a final, and he did win the Lance Todd trophy. He was also a successful coach for us (and GB U21s, IIRC). Toppo the last "legend" for me, and probably a long wait for the next one.

if there is anybody that could even get close to legendary status at the moment it would be JD, but he's running out of years IMHO

Adam get over yourself - very churlish outburst.

For anyone to claim David March as a legend for me is wrong, it degrades those who actually were and in our case nearly all came from the team of the 1960's. And before you start I spent the best part of two weeks putting Daves testimonial - why? Because I liked him as a player and he was loyal in the sense that he always gave his best. But a legend, not in this lifetime.

As for the Bradford thing, is that remotely relevent?., How would you know I doubt even Dave remembers it was so long ago.

Wally Lewis was a legend and he did it in 10 games! The reason was simple, he was just bl**dy awesome. You seriously comparing those two?

I know it's all about opinions but I say again, come on!

A bit like David Batty claiming Real Madrid were interested in him!

No offence to Marchy I just don't buy it.

Fair enough, believe what you like.

March was a better player than what he was credited for.

How the fook do you expect me to compare March and Lewis? I know your an old timer but I certainly am not.

Not exactly claiming he is a legend but of people claim Korky is one March deserved to be a king. Like I said in previous post, I can’t really think of anyone I have seen wear a Trin shirt who deserves the legend tag……..
