Anyone else notice 3 of our current team - Paul Lambert, Grant Holt and Wes Hoolahan have been voted into the Hall of Fame, with Dean Ashton and Efan Ekoku? http://www.canaries.co.uk/page/NewsDetails/0,,10355~2619043,00.html?
Wes Hoolahan, really? He had a great season in League One as part of our holy trinity, and a decent one in the Champ, but does that qualify for the hall of fame?
Tend to agree DM, also Efan Ekokou ? He played for us 45 times ! At this rate we'll have a hall of fame with 2000 members by this time next year !
i've said it before and i'll say it again: our hall of fame is a flippin' joke! what a waste of time. way too many players who don't deserve to be mentioned in the same breathe as real legends. scrap it and start again please
I agree you have people like Johnny Gavin our all time top scorer next to the likes of Gary Megson! Voting three players per season hardly makes it much of honour one per season would be better with perhaps a past legend addition, why does there always need to be three players to pick from every season?
Why not have it over a period of time, say 5 years? That gives a player enough time to become a 'legend' surely. <hmm>
That exactly! Paul Lambert deserves to be in and maybe Adam Drury, but Wes Hoolahan? I love Wes Hoolahan but no way he should be in. And Grant Holt? He is a legend, but he has only been here a few years, maybe if he's still scoring a few in a season or 2 then yes, but not now.
we have had so few truly great players play for the club and it does them all a disservice when you have martin peters or darren huckerby - two players who i would certainly declare as 'legends for norwich' - sharing the same bill as jon newsome and daryl sutch
I can understand certain players may well be famous to our supporters, if no-one else, and talked about for years and years but a Hall of Fame is yet another example of modern ideas such as Big Brother, X Factor, Masterchef etc where people get their Andy Warhol 15 minutes of fame. Like Lord Con, sorry Coe, who will no doubt get a Sainthood after the Olympics, a three week event that I will still have to watch on TV as I won't pay the ridiculous ticket prices. So to that end, it doesn't matter to me where they hold it. Greece would have been an ideal place?
Maybe there should be a criteria for being in the hall of fame. Possible points to be met. 1. Served the club 5 years 2. Played over 150 matches 3. Been heard of by other clubs <tonguefirmlyincheekemoticon> Obviously not all criteria would have to be met, but at least some of them. Only a possible idea. I wonder if we couild come up wth our own Hall of fame, that most of us would agree on. <thinkingcaponemoticon>
As much as I loved Dean Ashton as a player and was devastated when his career finished, there is absolutely no way he should ever be near the HoF. that's just ludicrous. I can see a better argument for Wes being in there as he did play a huge part in two successive promotions, but Deano was only with us for less than a season in total and was involved in a relegation during that period. And please, please tell me Daryl Sutch isn't really in it
