Yeah definitely agree with that.Or it’s just the term legend is too easily given out?
Yet he continued playing for Ireland all through the following 3 years, sometimes twice in a few days? Something doesn’t add up with that statementBobble just said that 3 years ago Coleman said to the club that he can't train everyday and play every week due to the injuries he's sustained, and they need to find his replacement and start bringing him in.
If that is true, the club has failed him and us big time.
Legend with zero trophies lol

60 grand he cost. He's the only one who still cares.
But others might want to forget what he's done here and allow the fakes in the squad a free pass.
In terms of memorable moments, Coleman has never really topped giving away the stupid free kick that led to Carroll's winner at Wembley in 2012.A couple of months ago he was arguing til he was blue in the face that Ferguson wasn’t a legend because he only made sub appearances during our cup run in 1995 and for years he’s wrote off Baines as a legend specifically because he’s never won a trophy. Coleman is a legend because he’s currently keeping out a player that Dave doesn’t like because he used to play for Rangers.
Actually quite funny that, because when you think about it... it's spot on. He's talked about as some kind of club legend, bargain of the century full back who tore up the history books since joining the club.What has he done here? Play loads of games? Wow yes, continue playing him in that case.

Reality is he was a bargain buy and did perform to a high-ish standard (probably worthy of a Europa League team) for about 3-4 seasons, definitely much higher than his transfer fee would suggest, but he's also been the mainstay and captain of a group of players who have, quite disgracefully, downed tools countless times and seen off about six different managers.
One thing I've always hated about him is that he, as captain, has contributed to opposition players getting away with probable yellow or red card-worthy challenges by refusing to involve himself in the referee's decision-making. Think Steven Gerrard or Jamie Carragher and how they would virtually get the cards out of the referee's pocket themselves to get players booked. Not quite the same thing, but him consoling Son of Spurs after he'd just crippled Andre Gomes absolutely stunk.
Also, his insistence on playing every single international game, even after a (or was it two?) potential career-ending injury suffered while playing for Ireland, has been infuriating. At this point in his career, when his legs have so clearly gone, he's still playing for them.
Yes we've had some good times singing the Sixty Grand song and seeing him chip in with the odd goal here or there, but he's never been an elite player (not his fault), and his only achievement (not his fault) with us has been the number of games he has played.
The sad thing is you just know Kenwright will be all over him when he does finally retire, getting him fast tracked into the coaching setup and assuring him of a job for life, etc.
