He doesn't have legendary status for me. For anyone that feels he does then fair enough - Bruno legend of United the Banter Years.
Will Bruno achieve legend status at utd?
- Thread starter simplyared
- Start date
He left Utd after 10 years with 6 PL titles, 2 FA Cups a CL and 366 games and 126 goals.
Scored an equaliser on his debut.
Top scorer in his debut season (I think)
Ran 60/70 yards to take Rob Lee down
Scored 4 vs Forest as a sub.
1999 Late Winning goal vs Liverpool in FA Cup
1999 CL final winning goal
Scored 25 goals in 2001
Played right wing to replace Beckham & still scored goals.
And after a rough 3 years with injury he came back and scored some crucial goals. 2 in a 2-0 win over Newcastle.
He also might still hold the record for the most goals scored as a substitute for Man Utd
Legend or Cult hero? For me he's a legend.
Bruno is more towards the cult hero side of things for now, personally I think he needs to lift the title as captain. If he did that after wading through all the shit to get there. I think then he might be considered a legend
you ”think”
Yeah, that's maybe the wrong word. But when it comes down to it, he probably needs that one big trophy to really claim legend status.
I'd fecking love to see him lift the PL trophy, it looks unlikely but if he sticks around like Robson, he might just get his hands on it.
Fair enough mate, I honestly don't feel right to judge the legend status for most of the United legends anyway. I started supporting United only in 2007 and even if I read up on the history, it certainly isn't the same as living through it. I also know that Best, Charlton and a few others are legends, I know that because so many on here and in books and articles about football say the were and so I just go with it. In 99 I was more pleased seeing Bayern players cry after such a devastating way of losing because I somehow hated them with a passion (even when I had little to no interest in football during that time).
The things you listed are pretty impressive no question but I never had the feeling that he gets talked about in the same way as indisputed legends like Rio, Cantona or Keane. Maybe one of the main reasons why I was so quick to question the decision to make him permanent manager while he had a lot of credit in the bank for so many fans who witnessed him as a player
Best player of a very bad bunch thats all
He has been too inconsistent for us till now, but can still turn it around.
Out of interest is Kane a Spurs Legend?
