I've seen a few posts on here lately with people throwing the world 'legend' around.
Can we get this straight; Scholes, Giggs, Beckham, Keane, Cantona, Ronaldo, Rooney, Best, Law, Edwards, etc. are not legends, they're greats or icons or whatever wording you choose to use.
Manchester United has 1 legend and that's Sir Bobby Charlton, you perhaps argue Sir Alex.
A Legend goes above and beyond the usual standard of a player.
If we use Bobby Charlton as the benchmark (which he is) then you need to have won absolutely everything as a player, spend your entire career with the club and then after you've retired continue to spend your life at the club in some capacity.
A legend only has his accomplishments bettered or equalled once in 2 or 3 generations.
{Ed025's Note - for me jose being a legend is subjective, would you not class best or law as legends?, im afraid its not up to you mate but your entitled to your opinion of course...just like everyone else..

I think if you asked Bobby Charlron he might disagree with you about Duncan Edwards.

Duncan Edwards is a legend. He died young but what he did whilst he was alive was quality.

Bobby Charlton used to say that there was nothing he could do better than Duncan Edwards.

Last month he was saying the club had three legends. What did Busby do to you in the last few weeks Moon?
{Ed041's Note - how he can Scholes or Giggs are not legends is beyond me.

Shocking post, one of the worst I've seen on here in a while.

Taken from the dictionary:
LEGEND - "an extremely famous or notorious person, especially in a particular field. "
Best, Law, Edwards red not legends?
What a load of bollix.
And this from the person who said, and I quote " Wayne Rooney is one of the most intelligent footballers I have ever seen".
Sorry Moonrinho, but you is talking nonsense.

Not sure about that gds2 there are a few candidates from the couple of resident mad men that wear city or Liverpool underpants beneath their man utd shorts recently that could top moons effort.

Bit of a mad post there moon. Charlton the only legend?
I'd say we have been extremely lucky to have many so called 'legends' at our great club.
