    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.

    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?

    Re: While we're at it, let's make a list of Cardiff City legends

    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.

    Surprised you didn’t mention Splott’s very own Len Davies.

    Re: While we're at it, let's make a list of Cardiff City legends

    Danny Malloy, captained City’s 59/60 promotion winning side. Immense centre-half ( centre back nowadays)

    I would set the bar high and include

    Fred Keenor
    Alan Harrington
    Alf Sherwood
    Tom Farquason
    Derek Tapscott
    Peter Rodrigues
    Peter King
    Dom Murray
    Phil Dwyer
    Dave Bennett
    John Toshack
    Brian Clark
    Peter Whittingham
    Robert Earnshaw


    Other legendary players to have played at CCFC
    John Charles
    Ivor Allchurch
    Robbie Fowler
    Leo Fortune West
    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

    On that basis I offer you Lethal Lynex, and personally, probably because it was my era, I’d have Chris Pike too….
