People like Odemwingie, Gera , Morrison are modern day favourites, heroes maybe but certainly not legends, a word banded around way way too much these days in all walks of life, the days where someone wins a medal and gets an OBE, MBE never to be heard of again when people from years gone by had to work harder to get these things and were never recognised in many cases until after their death.
People like Bomber, Jesse Pennington, Regis, Astle, Glidden, Bassett and the like are legends, names still talked about and known about many years after they have moved on.
