One whole season , not one game. 2016 was like nothing we'll ever see again and to me everyone involved in that is a bulldog legend to me.
Premierships are what this games about and we've won two in 100 years. Im happy to call them immortals/legends. Rather that than telling them to get *****.
Re: Following our ex's...................
To me Ryan Bertrand and Obi Mikel and Solomon Kalou and every other player who played that night in Munich and the games running in are Chelsea immortals two. These cups are things that will live with you forever and be immortal.
Im sure the Spurs and Pool fans on here will feel the same way whoever wills.

I prefer the term 'Bullgod'

Fair point. I may have gone a little too hard.
I still think it's mostly Dahl's fault though.

For example Murphy only played 3 games that season and based on the fact that the likes of Dahlhaus and Stringer are regarded as "immortal and legends" but not the likes of Bob is the reason why it doesn't sit well with me.
I certainly thank all of the players who got GF medals and I won't speak badly of them but they're not all immortal/legends in my humble opinion just because they won a medal.
I do get your point though.

Re: Following our ex's...................
The premiership players will always have a special place in our history but no way will I ever regard say Joel Hamling as highly as I do Chris Grant, Brad Johnson or Scott West for example, just because he was in the right place at the right time.
Re: Following our ex's...................
Stinger is a dog who played his part in something more incredible than himself. He's not Charles Sutton mk 2.
Dahl was a great player for us for a longer period. Closer to being a legend but he's no Bont or Murph or Wood.
I'd almost give it to Boyd because his game that day was that great. If you're going to play one great game in your career that's the time for it.

He can get as much of it as he likes provided he's responsible for a set shot after the siren to decide it.
Remember that feeling you'd get whenever Dahl was lining up?
Yeah, the opposite of that feeling.

I feel the opposite to you here Chef. Once a player leaves our club that is it for me.

I hope Dahl gets BOG and the cats lose by 1 point after the siren like close one last year by Taylor
Then one of our players go up to him and licks his ear and whispers him , “your not good enough to win a game against us “
But you do remember the bulldogs song ?

Each to their own i guess.
All the players who played a part in giving me the greatest sporting day of my life will always be immortals or Bullgods(thanks Mof) to me
