David Moyes is a legend he's done so much for this club xx

Opinions, for me a cult hero NOT a legend. Last Legend i can come up with is Scruffy Southall, seeing him pull off a triple save to deny Scholes a goal in the 95 FA final was just like DAMN! Dave Watson is a good shout but again more of a cult hero than legend. i get why people are saying legend, but he's just not a good enough footballer to be a Legend. Rooney might go down as a legend but sadly not for us.

This.

It seems to be the older lads (say, post 30 or thereabouts) who have witnessed us when we were boss, saying they don't regard him as one. Time and rose tinted glasses go together perfectly, I think in 20 years when the next 'Cahill' comes along they'll be like 'he's no Cahill he was boss larrr'. Could be wrong like.

We weren't just boss though. We were THE best. We had THE best players.

He got what Everton were about, he bled blue, he would put his life on the line for the team.
In 20 yrs you might be talking about Tim, I'll be talking about Peter Reid cos Cahill aint a legend like Reidy.

Smashing Man U 5-0 (yes youngsters you read that right), beating Europes finest. Sheedys twice taken free kick. Psycho running half the length of the pitch to tw*t someone. Tricky Trev. The unbeatable binman.
Yessir they were legends.

Maybe not to you, and that is fair enough. My age group have only ever seen an FA Cup win, its not our fault we didn't see Everton at their very best, but we're still here week in, week out not running off to support City or Chelsea, we know what being an Evertonian is, just like Cahill & Duncan did, that's why for me, they are legends.

How the hell could i have forgotten Psycho?? best moment for me though in the last 20yrs or so, watching limpar race down the wembley turf richet off the cross bar and rideout head for goal. beautiful. especially as we had such a sheit season before as well.

Your time will come mate. There have been peaks and troughs throughout the clubs history and one day another great Everton team will emerge. A raging debate will ensue as to whether this team is better than the 80's or the 60's sides, whether certain players were better than others.
Inbetween all this will be players like Latchford and Mckenzie, Cahill and Ferguson. Beacons of light in the dark times but nothing compared to the true legends, the ones who make us really great.
Keep the faith. COYBB.

But that is what makes them special. Anyway, I agree that Cahill or Dunc, wouldn't get near a All Time XI, however West wouldn't get in ahead of Southall but he is a legend. Its not really an issue as we all accept, i think, Cahill will go down as a great.

As I said its a personal thing, I understand lids who don't regard them as legends, what annoys me is people who just dismiss them as players because they played for us when we we're sh1te. Loadsa blokes over 40 don't like Duncan for some reason, I love him to bits
