I noticed that Damian's recent 150th goal went slightly under the radar amidst us qualifying for the FA Cup 1st Round and all that. That's some haul, so I pose the question, has he done enough to be considered an Altrincham legend?

I'd say so. Definitely on par with the status of Colin Little now.

I think this is down to the individual. To me he is. His goals got is up and then kept us up. Legend.

Col Little tho was in a different class and came to us at the end of his career, a point we see so many just turn up for the money and give nothing to the cause. He was so dedicated it was amazing. He also dragged the team along with him, a leader and a goal scorer. Defo THE legend in my lifetime as an Alty fan.

Well done Reevesy tho on 150, what an incredible achievement and what a wonder no league club never took a chance??? Still, our gain!

He is not a legend in my eyes. Only because I don't believe you can be legend until you leave the club/retire.

Suffice to say he will be a legend and the club would not be where it is now without him.

He does need to get his scoring boots on though, otherwise we might end up back in the Conference North.

There is less chance of the Pope being Catholic  than of Reevesy not being a legend.

Glad to hear that so many see Reeves as a legend, but we have four 'no' votes. Would like to hear the reasoning behind those.

I voted no but I think I have explained why, purely timing. He will be a legend no doubt about it but not until he finishes his alty career be that tomorrow, or in 5 years.

No

A bright spark in lean years though most certainly

But for legends look back to the 70's and 80's

yes.

I think the reason he stayed was that he was earning more with his part time contract and being self employed, than he was being offered by league clubs.

also, i suspect he just loves alty and doesnt want to play for anyone else.

i think if you score that amount goals even in lean times you are considered a legend of the club as is coburn who has also played in fairly average Alty teams
