What i'm looking for now are input in terms of who to list on that legends page. I will probably have a series of polls in order to fine tune the selections, however there are some basic rules that is in place in order to be considered a legend.

In terms of an example, and if you are a true St. Ann man, it's easy to see how someone like Richie Poo Tulloch would be a good choice to be a part of that list.

It's not difficult to conjure up the newer players from the mid 80's upwards, but i'm really focusing on making sure I get the players from the 1970's too. Think Ambassadors All Star,  Reynolds team, Top Stars etc.  So basically, i'm going to have to consult my idols, about their idols  and come on down from there.  Bascoe, Dove, Georgie and dem man deh.

Yes, I have started compiling the list, but it is of the USUAL SUSPECTS - people who we already KNOW will make the legends list. No Toto you nuh deh pon it.... yet!


If you can think of legendary players who would deserve to be on this list, do share your thoughts and let us know their name, and why. It would be good to know about their teams too and any significant moment you can remember about them.  Their specialty and position would be great too. 
An example would be
- Name, Nickname
- Time period played
- teams you remember them playing for
- Primary position played
- Why you feel they should be considered


Obviously, you want folks who have played in the parish league, or represented the parish a minimum of 3 years, so while people like Byron Earle is my hero, and hero to many folks out of the Arnett Gardens team, he only spent a short time with Black Stars, so therefore is not viable for nomination.

This is a much bigger project than the above, because there's lots more data that will be involved.

You might also wonder why I want to do this, and why i've been pushing for a database of players surfacing from my Parish, it's because, like my uncle Nigel, aka Shingo mesh, it's purely for the love of a game that enriched my life.

Forward the link to who you feel haven't see it yet, because this is just the warm up, side nuh pick, and game nuh start play yet!

I'll post some screenshots of the design as it progress.

Let's start there.]]>

This should be thought about similar to counting the amount of cautions a team has accumulated throughout the season, meaning the most prestigious  titles puts that player to the top first, so winning the national league would automatically place  you towards the top and if you won more than one should be considered, etc.

Share your thoughts on who you think has deserved to sit at the pinnacle, we can provide a list of potential candidates if need be.

Here are some things to consider:
- National titles
- National caps
- The most caps on a given team
- The total number of teams played for on a national level
- Success outside of St. Ann as well as in the parish.

Happy thinking.]]>

 I'm sure most people will know who my Legend is and will always be, because i watched his football etiquette and learned mental strength; technical ability; and how to slap players without the ref seeing (and yes I've gotten many slaps) from him. Not to mention his achievements are in the top 3 of football achievers in St. Ann, you would not believe how many medals this man has collected. 

Whether it was during his Vere(champions), JDF(champions), Los Perfectos, Chelsea Utd, Windsor Utd, Black Stars, JPS business house, Watford (Yes youth trainee with John Barnes), jamaica, and host of other accolades! 

He's been around the block of football, and at the moment I think maybe only Everton "Addi ants" Palmer can rival him with medals and experience.

He was strict about his football, and strict about the diligence of training, if you played serious game then you can be on his team. 

I remember an overseas team of pure white guys asked for a practice match with Windsor, and I was brought along as a 15 year old to learn, but he had more plans for me and thrusted me as a forward in that friendly. I was on cloud 9.

So while I respect players like Fisher from ghetto, Ruler, the Luggs, and the greatest general ever on any Volvo team, my general is the most powerful and precise kicker of the ball in St. Ann History.

Second on my Legend List would be Fabel Mckoy, I would've gone anywhere in the world and play with him on my team.]]>

Manna(Squarey) no I haven't forgotten about you, if someone wants that ball, you can go down the flank and put it pon him eyelash!

Shaggy(Chelsea) I remember you, shared some good laughs with you last year and teased you about your knee. Sorry you had to quit playing so early!

---

Norris (Volvo, Black Stars, Brazil), good forward, I remember you! you helped me to love the game!

---

Nocklyn (Chelsea), much respect to this day!

It is not often you get to play with your football idols, or the fact that they supported you all the way, but I was fortunate to have met mine and appreciate them encouraging me all the way.  There are many folks I respect in the game before and during my time, but extra special mentions for me has to go out to my Idols:
Echo Barnaby
Willie Bobo
Copy Murphy
Beck
Lenkyroy Lugg
Major (Kimble)
Lazza
=====

Without these folks I wouldn't have love football so much, or wanted to emulate them in games.   You dragged me to training with you, and dragged me onto the field every chance you could spare.  This is why I would not hesitate to put your memory on a forum that should last for all times. Thanks guys.]]> Windsor United footballer.

This is a poll to check who you think was the best player of the 1970's. I am still learning about the players from the 70's so i'm sure i'll miss a few names, feel free to suggest them and it will probably surface again in a newer poll. Also, look out for the best player 80's and 90's series.]]>

My vote is for Buggaroo (during his Windsor United days).  When I checked, I can remember around 10 he's scored directly from a corner kick.  

Anyone else you can think of?]]>

I'll add more to this list as I remember them, or if you post any, for now i'd love to hear your respective opinions. It would also be good if you know their real names - it's time to give the true respect due.
