What we're looking for in a legend
They’re those trusted people who show up every time, in any weather. They get stuck in helping, not for the glory, but simply because the club needs it. They might be the ones who put on the feed after, wash the jerseys, keep the pitch game-ready, manage the books, chair the Board and stock the bar. They keep the place ticking.
Respected for making people feel like they belong.
Always there, every week, any weather.
Gets stuck into whatever needs doing without being asked.
Does it for the club, not the glory.
