Legend doesn't mean greatest player or the most medals, it means players of integrity, loyalty, endeavor when the chips are down. It means class, respect and honour. it's those whom have garnered the ultimate respect from both fans, players and coaches, i guess some of the latter generation names bandied around like Swain and kearney etc deserve recognition for what they did to help the club to success, does that make them legends in their own right above those that gave their all to the club often without reward or during barren times, IMHO, no it doesn't. it's always a subjective list as to whom are legends but this is mine Jack Harrison VC Bob Taylor Harold Bowman Ned Rodgers Joe Oliver Johnny Whiteley MBE Tommy Harris Alf Macklin Mick Scott Clive Sullivan Steve Norton Richard Horne

Maybe suggest 2 and i will see who overlaps.
Thanks
For my third I would add John Whiteley to Batten and Francis.
Seeing both Whiteley and Norton would put Whiteley a street ahead of Norton who was a disappointment for me when he was out here playing for Gt Britain and Manly. He was not a patch on the other ex-Castleford player Mal Reilly he replaced and Phil Lowe who played in the same Manly team was the forward I liked to watch.
Having said that I can support him as one of the 20 legends selected in the book.
Should be Joe Oliver the man Old Faithfull is based on and John Whiteley if your doing a thesis Could add Sammy Evans to that not that he's an actual HullFC Legend but is a the only player to play for us ,them and City
