Peter Whittingham has to be on the list.
Fred Keenor
Eddie Johnson at the top of any list
Jack Evans, scored the first ever goal at Ninian Park in 1910, even helping to build the ground. Our first ever professional. Scored in our inaugural Football League match in 1920, First City player to be called up by Wales. With us from 1910-26, 354 appearances, 58 goals.
A cert for a Hall of Fame.
Toshack
Earnshaw
Legg
Fred Stansfield, Ron Stitfall, Hugh Ferguson, Billy Hardy, Alf Sherwood, Brian Clark, Peter King, Peter Whittingham, John Toshack, Tom Farquharson, Don Murray, obviously Fred Keenor.
Of those not mentioned yet
Nathan Blake
Graham Kavanagh
Super Kev
Mark Hudson
no list is complete without LFW
I’ll pick two, already both mentioned, who represent why I support City.Quote:

What defines a football club legend?
Skill/ability? Longevity at the club? Loyalty? 'Magic moments'? Inspiration to fans and emerging players? Behaviour on and off the pitch?
Or is it just a player who is talked about in the pub, the ground, on message boards years/decades/generations after he (or she) called it a day? Can a current player be a legend?
I reckon if there are more than half a dozen names on a Cardiff City legends list the point has been missed.
Am I missing something?
Why has no one mentioned a certain Phil Dwyer?
Don't forget Ian Gibson
Phil Dwyer is obviously top of the list. In my lifetime, Whitts probably comes second. John Toshack was a bit before my time. I don't even remember him going to Liverpool. A promotion definitely would have helped. Earnie. Players of that ilk.Quote:

Robin Friday for all the wrong reasons
Undoubtedly there are more pre 60,s players that should be on the list.
The top three players or team of each decade might be interesting
Good God, yes:thumbup:Quote:
