There must be a role for him at the club.Everyone would be happy to see him as part of the coaching team etc.

Just give him a key to every season ticket holders house and while we're down the City he can let himself in and shag the wife, after all, he is the love of our life !

Shame to see Naughts go, he's been a great servant to this club and spent most of his career here but it is time to move on unfortunately. Thanks for everything Super Kev http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/ayatollah.gif

A great servant and a great personality whether he's a legend or not.
A great servant and a great personality whether he's a legend or not.Absolutely.
Of course he is, and when fit better than any other current full back at the club.
I'd like to see him offered a deal based on apperancess but could understand if he moves on for first team football elsewhere
BTW one of lifes nice guys as well http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/thumbup.gif

Would've been nice to have had one more season if only to have the chance to give him the send off he deserves. That photo of him when we won promotion will one day prove to be, if it isn't already, one of the most iconic city photos of all time.

No, but only because I believe you need have been a very special player and character to earn that title. Kevin McNaughton comes closer to deserving that status, even under my very stringent criteria, than the vast majority of City players I've seen though and I thank him for a great nine years with the club. I've often thought that most of the current squad don't feel like "our" players - Super Kev was always one of "our" players, it's a shame that his City career has ended in a way that has not allowed supporters to show their full appreciation of a great servant to the club.
Only a few inches below earnie on the legend ladder for me.

Testament to him is he was part of the team that put a backs to the wall performance in vs Southampton away last season and never played again for us that season, so he'll be able to say he played in our last win in the premier league too.

Takes a lot to qualify as a "City legend" and Kev easiliy does.
No, legend is banded about like confetti, 100%er and all that, a good club pro, but not a legend.
If not Super-Kev then who? Marshall, Kev, Ledley and Whitts are the only ones close to being legends over the past 10 years.

As long as no one refers to him as 'Nautts'!I thought we called him Tons.

The legend that was John Charles played for CCFC. Does that make him a City legend. I think not.

How many City players have played at Wembley for us, on four occasions???

What do you mean get over it? I've put together a valid set of reasons not had a go.You put your reasons for legend status, your criteria is different to mine, he's been a great clubman, a decent player, a nice chap away from the game and deserves recognition but for me, he does not deserve legend status.

What's your criteria? I would say Phil Dwyer, might be wrong but I think he still holds the club's all-time appearance record, which to me, is something that can be classified as an exceptional achievement at the club. I don't think That KM has achieved something exceptional at the club, don't get me wrong, he's been a very good clubman, another example would be Earnshaw) for his goal scoring achievement.

I also feel reluctant to hand out the accolade too easily, although accept the interpretation of 'legend' is personal and far from precise.For me, Fred Keenor qualifies as a City legend, Alf Sherwood might and Peter King and Don Murray from the side I grew up watching might I suppose - the only one of the current side I'd say who may qualify is Whittingham.
Don Corleone

I've been watching City since the late 60's and Super Kev certainly qualifies for the "legend" tag. Nearly 300 appearances, 4 Wembley appearances - part of a team that played in a FA cup final and league cup final. A team that won div2 as champions and also played in the premier league. Great rapport with fans, always gave 100% and always gave the impression it meant as much to him as it did to us fans.
He ticks all the boxes.
I understand the term legend being easily bandied about but even my former heroes such as Dwyer and Murray can't match Kev's career achievements on the field with Cardiff.
Just because they are modern players I don't see why they can't be included in exalted company of Keenor and Sherwood (Kev's on field success outranks Sherwoods and 2 finals and a championship winning medal puts him damn pretty close to Keenor too). Whittingham will be deserving of the legend moniker in the future too

Legend, for me anyway, it's not about achievement or status but how the feelings that player evokes in you.
Bellamy a legend? Maybe in Welsh football terms but as a Cardiff City player, no where near.
Legends for me are those who did there best for Cardiff City whilst having an attachment to fans and club.
Perry, Stant, Dwyer, Whitts, Roger Gibbins. All had that connection for me plus a few others.
Kevin always made me feel he was part of it, "He got what we are", something that very few other than Whitts has shown of late.
Turner certainly got my attention with the comment on players not caring.
Kevin is certainly a club legend in my estimation.
I want silver hair like Nautt'sy.
I have him down as a City legend ,if he could learn to pass he would be a good footballer as well!!

Biggest tryer i've seen down there. We could have done with one or 2 superkevs these last two seasons! (I know he played some prem games but he wasnt the Kev of old)
Legend, for me anyway, it's not about achievement or status but how the feelings that player evokes in you. People's perception of legends are always going to be different, but for me I never understood why Kev was loaned out as he was as good or better in some circumstances in what we had. I think he has been one of our best full backs for many a year and wish him all the best for the future so I will put him in the legendary status as I always enjoyed him playing for us.

Definitely a City legend in my eyes. Unlike Robin Friday, who barely played 30 games for us.
Yes, Supa Kev is a City legend in my eyes. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/thumbup.gif If no others then that elevates his status even further
