Everybody has their views on legends. My dad seen most of the top players from 50s onwards and 3 he said stood out. Duncan Edwards the most talented he saw,Jimmy greaves a phenomenal players and Joe Baker of hibs and arsenal. Can't argue with that. Watching film of greaves he was a fantastic player who of course battled his demons. Edwards looked like a British Beckenbauer but tougher and as a hibs fan I can testify how frightening joe Baker was though injury curtailed his talent.
As for horses alleged for me was a legend having seen him beat the Derby runner up by 10 lengths in the voltigeur and had he not contested the leger maybe been viewed as such. Istabraaq just had that something about him as did the amazingly versatile sea pigeon. All about opinions and everybody's is fine with me but they are the players and horses who I loved.
