Who scored the most goals that got us out of Division 2 in 1966, the most goals in the Championship season in 1968, the winner in the Cup Final in 1969 and a goal in the Cup Winners Cup Final in 1970 - Neil Young

Who was the captain who held the trophies in 1968, 1969, 1970 (2) and was manager of the League Cup winning side of 1976 and when we finished 2nd in the league in 1977 - Tony Book

The player with the most international caps and possibly our best ever player in modern times - Colin Bell

The man who would run through a brick wall for us - literally in the first home game in the 65/66 season against Wolves, created and scored many goals and is now the Club Ambassador - Mike Summerbee

Who was an ex German prisoner of war, broke his neck in a Cup Final, played on and we won the cup, the first non English footballer of the year - Bert Trautmann

These are the things that make LEGENDS .......

Come back in 10 or 20 years and list the real achievements of some of the names that have been put forward
