What a great shout,we've been so lucky to be supporters through the decades. The pain, the agony, the joy, the privilege of supporting the mercurial Bluebirds. The joy outweighs the pain for me, and thanks to BBM, we're in, for me, a joyous period again with lot's of our own academy lads vying to join our list of legends.
My favourite goal? Peter Kings of course!

I loved Ian Gibson and what a midfielder.

I can still see him now with his shoulders slightly hunched and holding the cuffs of his long sleeved City shirt with his fingers slotting balls through.

Great player but not a legend by any stretch. I just checked wiki and he only spent 2 seasons with us.

Sad to see he died in 2016.

What defines a legend?

Phil Dwyer & you would think Fred Keenor are both legends but then it gets a little hazy as to what a legend actually means. It's means something different to different people depending on who they watched.
