I’m going to throw three names out that will always be legendary in my mind, two of them just for a single act.
- Johnny Bolland. Will any of the approximately 35,000 fans in attendance that day ever forget the ball bouncing over his head and him scrambling back in vain to prevent the goal? Legendary moment and match.
- Maurice Whittle. For sticking that penalty past Alex Stepney in front of the Chaddy End, and beating United 1-0. Legendary.
-Joe Royle - Taking us to the promised land of Division One. Legendary
Any long-lived Latics fan will remember those moments for ever and there are many, many more players that have provided a legendary moment. No, they are not the best players to have ever worn a Latics jersey . And it’s why I agree about Norwood belonging on a ‘legendary list”
That Wembley goal will be talked about for the next 50-years by anyone who was there to see it.
