this what I mean though Joe in that he done enough for me in the short time here
league, cup, ECWC
and broke that fella's snotter in the semi against Bayern
I never said it wasn't, I just feel we use the word legend too often for our past players.In your opinion, why is it not applicable to Andy Gray?
Yes do not get me wrong its just the wording if you stated a great EFC no 9 then yes, but his career with us were in his twilight years , and he did fantastic - HK soon moved him on for Gary Lineker who had a fantastic season after in which we could have won the double alas sadly forgotten, hence no affection for Gary Lineker see my point - a Legend has to be up there with the greatest no 9s Dixie, Tommy Lawton - Golden vision - Joe Royle - Graham Sharp etc they stood the test of time to become Legends its just my opinion sometime the word legend gets branded to easy - Its like Big Dunc a great, but never a Legend imo.this what I mean though Joe in that he done enough for me in the short time here

Ball Harvey, and Kendall were all legends also in the 1980's Big Nev - Peter Reid - etc
is he related to ian dowie?
Probably not for me, despite his cup final winning goal.
The difference with Gray was that he was the catalyst, or one of the main catalysts, for our success in the 80s.
Did you ever see him play? If not, look at the video footage of him celebrating after a goal, any goal, not necessarily even one he scored. If he didn't score it himself, he was invariably the first one over to celebrate with the goal scorer. The affinity and connection he had with the fans was instant.
He was a definite legend in my eyes.
