The Legends game sent me thinking the other day about just who is my ultimate Alty hero. The answer is obviously Ken McKenna, just a God, followed by a personal favourite Ricky Harris and therafter it's hard to split the rest up.

I don't really know wher Jackie Swindells comes into this as I never saw him play (met hime though, I was shaking nervously). For me he's kind of some father figure, a patron saint of Alty.

Pick your legend in the poll and put your 1-2-3 in the answer below. I'll put 9 legends down to start off with. If yours isn't there, don't vote just say so on your answer and I'll add anyone who's name crops up more than 3 times.

n.b. In due course we'll due a legends poll for the Tunnas and Furnivals of this world.

1 Showler
2 McKenna
3 Harris

[teasybeaver]

1. Heathcote
2. Coburn
3. Andy Green

[Ballers]

Meh, did you just vote 3 times there? i thought I'd limited the poll itself to just one vote.

Vote once for your ultimat legend but tell us who your 2nd and 3rd choices would be in an answer below folks basically.

[ManagementGuru]

1. Jeff Johnson
2. Jackie Swindells
3. John King
4. Graham Heathcote

[Alex]

the only one of these that i have seen play (bar staff supporters games or charity events) is coburn so thats my vote

[Jacko]

I know he's not on here but clive freeman just for his 1st class threat every free kick, dont think ive seen such a consistantly good striker of the ball at this level

[jiminlondon]

1. johnson
2. king
3. heathcote

well you can tell my age from that

johnson because of the length of service, and his attitude which made him the player he was and pulled us out of the mire again and again
the other 2 because of their playing days but also because of what they have been to this club

[ManagementGuru]

Jim in London - you are a kindred spirit !

[jiminlondon]

us mid 40s blokes have to stand together

[altyf]

Referring to the question first, I have to say John King is the most "iconic" but my personal favourites...

1-Ricky Harris
2-Heathcote
3-Coburn

[penfold]

for me it would have to be
1) Coburn
2) Heathcote
3) Val Owen (now i know he's not on the list but when ever he's playing and we are a goal down; and it gets to 90mins, well i always think to my self if Val hits this one now from about 30yards out, what a legend he will become.)

[seasonticket]

What about Walter Jones, Cyril Barclay and Con Kapler

[thegazelle]

King,Johnson, Heathcote in any order you like

[Railway Alty]

Another vote from a mid forties wreck,
KING, JOHNSON, HEATHCOTE, EALES.
