Your response has taken me to the dictionary (a first for NSC?) for a definition of legend. This tells me that it is ‘a person having a special place in public esteem because of striking qualities or deeds’. I have to concede therefore that my previous interpretation might be wrong, and Solly...
IMO legendary status is only achieved when a career comes to an end and we still remember their exploits on the field. In this respect Solly is still building his legacy. He will achieve true legendary status in five/ten years time when he has eventually retired from playing for us.
STH mates and F&F opting out of attending this match for various reasons, so will be attending alone for once. At least it will enable me to purchase my priority 2 ticket (234 points) as soon as it becomes available. Already booked my Seagulls travel ticket.

I’m not against loans and feel they fall into several categories. 1. For those on the way out (eg Connolly, Andone, Duffy) 2. Youngsters needing experience of senior football (all our Development squad) 3. Foreigners awaiting work permit or needing to adapt to English/European style football...
Personally, I don’t think a loan is appropriate in his case. He is almost there, and just needs to improve his decision making. When watching him playing for the U21s the other week, he was head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch. As I said to my mate at the time ‘he’s there to learn...
