Club legends suggestions

So with my admitted overreaction in calling TVC a "club legend" the other day (Sev and Chuds,you had it right), and the tongue-in-cheek thread about bringing back club 'legend', Ben Kennedy (wouldn't even put him in the same bracket as TVC) it got me thinking.

What do people think constitutes a club legend, and who would ours be?

We're still a young club, but we're hitting 50 in a few years and have quite the storied history now. There will be legends quite a few of us weren't even alive to see or were too young to have seen (sorry to call out the veterans on here).

Here's the appearances link (I appreciate there are more measures of a legend though) that PeteH shared the other day -;

So yeah any contenders and why? (Extra marks for anything further back).

I'd start with the rather obvious one, Ronnie Henry. Most appearances in our history. Solid at the back, and captain at points. Wore the shirt with pride and spent a total of about 13 years at the club.

I've been a fan of the club since the tail-end of the 04/05 season, watching him line-up in that playoff final alongside players like Alan Julian, Goodliffe, Dino, and Anthony Elding. I was 13 years old.

I feel devastated I never saw his last game but when he finally stopped playing for us in 2019 I was 27 years old. At the time, from his first appearance to his last, was over half my lifetime.

Even now when someone asks me to name a Boro player he's still the first to come to mind 5 years on.
