| Been fortunate to have seen three undisputable 'legends' in my time watching Wakefield - Neil Fox, David Topliss and (even though it was very brief) Wally Lewis.
To be honest I don't think anyone else has come anywhere near being afforded that accolade, otherwise it just demeans the term and its status.

Lewis was a legend but not a Wakefield legend.

Get to the playoffs and win the GF and I'll give you JD (so you can say you've seen one Trin legend in your lifetime )

More a cult figure than a legend. Said it before and I'll say it again, Toppo was the last, and we'll be waiting a long time for the next.

We've had plenty of them.
Oh no sorry I must have misread it...

Nigel Bell?
Nigel was burdened with carrying some of the poorest teams ever to where the red, white and blue. By the time Toppo had built a decent(ish) squad Bell was past his best. So he didn't win many medals or caps but h was a great player IMHO. Had he joined a top club and he was a wanted man he may well have been a legend of the game.
It's a tricky one but I think he counts because he was loyal and tough and played for years, but he was also a really good player. A bit of speculation but had he been Wigan born he would IMO have been a legend in a legendary Wigan side, because no team can have too many Nigel Bells - that's how it goes.

| Any player who can play scrum half, hooker and prop as well as Belly did earns my full respect. As you say Vasty his loyalty to Wakefield and the fact he played in so many poor sides when I'm pretty sure he could have signed for better teams makes him a Trinity legend in my eyes.
If people are having Wally Lewis, then I'm having Ray Price. Still the man I've had more respect for than any other player ever to pull on our colours.
