These are ones who I have seen play, obviously Sam Bartram must be our all time legend. Am sure there are many I will have forgotten though.
It's hard trying to put together legends and not just personal / cult heroes. Anyway, of those I've seen play:
Bob Bolder Stuart Balmer Carl Leaburn John Humphrey Paul Mortimer Lee Bowyer Sasa Ilic Richard Rufus Super Clive Mendonca John Robinson Mark Kinsella Chris Powell - as a player and manager Andy Hunt Scott Parker Darren Bent Yann Kermorgant BWP Johnny Jackson Chris Solly Curbs - as a manager

My First Legend was Matt Tees who i named my son after(Mrs soapbox" why do you want to name our boy Tees")
I was standing at the covered end on a rainy day as a young boy when Matt did the most powerful header which hit the net with such force the spray covered me and other small urchins who were standing right behind the goal.
Matt Tees was like Douglas Bader the second world war fighter pilot in the air. come to think of it he was similar to him on the ground! but he was still a hero to me.
The two play off teams earned automatic inclusion IMO.
I got shouted at by some Billy Bunter lookalike in the north upper for calling Claus a legend the time. I had a feeling then we'd look back on that midfield with envy.
No Garry Nelson for anyone, ok not the best player but certainly got heavily involved with the club, was always at fund raisers and a writer too.
That's his lot in life though, right? The nearly man. The guy everybody likes but not flashy enough to get manic adulation. I mean that in the nicest possible way, he's as deserving of a mention as any on this thread. But his style, as he's happy to use to his benefit in terms of his books, didn't make him an obvious choice for legendary status.

" Peacock your colour blind" from cafc fan
As a young boy, i heard this comment.
so returning home after a home defeat, dad and older brother were having inquest in front of mum.
"Peacock had a poor game today"
"it's not his fault he's colour blind and can't tell one player from another" i chirp.
Dad has belly laugh. brother call me thicko and mum bless her, gives me cuddle and says
"Never mind sam never mind. come and have your tea and watch doctor who."
I have been spaced out ever since.
To be continued.
