The recurring debates about who merits legend status on this forum every time a player leaves is ridiculous. There should be clear criteria for who deserves to join the ranks. Including any player who was a little likeable dilutes the legendary status of players like Del Piero, Buffon, Camo, Nedved and Trezeguet who really did something that merits the status. Criteria can be as complex or simple as one wants it to be, and can include a combination of factors like number of seasons, number of matches, trophy wins, etc. I am sure something workable can be created. If that is done, it then becomes a matter of numbers rather than a likeability contest, and we can avoid the recurring debates of rookie this, legend that.
