How do you appraise a legend?
Is it by their goals per minutes ratio? Their silverware? Their personal laurels? The number of goalkeepers left flat-footed and staring longingly into an abyss in their wake?
Or is it by something that occurs elsewhere, something outside themselves yet inspired only by them; say, BBC radio commentary, the sort that transcends not one, not two, but nearly three decades, growing legs of its own and indulging that difficult sweet spot of complete cringe and football nostalgia?
