@tfranklin900@RichardJGrant@jonmikesav8 I think the last true legend was Bryan Robson, maybe Cantona. I don’t think that every top player deserves ‘legend’ status. Would he get in to an all time Utd XI ?
@RichardJGrant@tfranklin900@jonmikesav8 Around a quarter of his Premier League appearances were from the bench. He was a decent player with a good attitude but ‘Legend’ is pushing it a bit.
@RichardJGrant@tfranklin900@jonmikesav8 So many legends were going to need to build a new stadium for all the statues. I’d argue that not even Keane, Scholes or Neville are true legends. Greening and Blomqvist next ?
@NoThirdMan Hard not to feel like cricket pathways are losing their way. Too often it looks like players from a coaches own club, and even their own kids, get the nod ahead of others who’ve actually earned it. Selections feel more about connections rather than performances.

The Talented Athlete Myth
Every coach has that kid who dominates at age 10. The one parents whisper about. The "natural."
Here's what I've learned after 30 years: Most of them quit before 16. https://t.co/zaKcQFJC1K
@RDBCroft10 Ferrari are still the biggest F1 team in the world and haven’t won anything for two decades. I watched United home games in the old second division in the mid 70’s - full to capacity home games. Adidas sponsor United for 90 million and Liverpool for 50. Just a few reasons 😉

We need to reflect on how sport is actually run. Trickle Down Sport - like Trickle Down economics - does not work. Sports all over the world keep pursuing this failed model of delivering sport - and it just doesn't work.
Start with grass-roots and build from there: a rising tide lifts all the boats.
