You can only really compare like for like which is not the case with Large and Hoskins. Large was an out and out central striker where Hoskins has played very few games, mostly he has been out wide. I don’t recall Large playing wing back. Best to compare
Large to Cliff Holton.
I think Frank played centre half at times.

Yes Frank wasn't a poacher, more of an Eaves type player. A big lump up front who scored an awful lot of headers and made goals for others.

Managers like Bowen and Wilder* are rare to come by! Whether we like it or not Jon Brady is the only recent Manager who can possibly follow in their* footstops!

We should stick with him, as at the moment he is our only hope of survival as a EFL Club!

'Legend' is subjective, a bit like what makes a national treasure.

Richard Hill is a legend for me, making under 100 appearances. Benji (with 150) most definitely. I am sure others would throw Morley, McGoldrick and a couple of others in from that era.

I think Hoskins has earnt it over the years considering his goals and appearances. Scoring a brace at the P*sh is almost enough in isolation!
In my my eyes Bayo is also a legend but I am sure he is a bigger legend at Wycombe because he did it in one spell, albeit scoring less goals for them. Not too many players will have been deemed a legend at multiple clubs.

Anyway, Hoskins just needs to hit the triple figures now. Be nice if he could do it with his first hat trick. He has got to go some (on the goals especially) but no reason that he couldn't finish second on the all time lists for appearances and goals. In nearly 130 years being close to that is unquestionably legendary but also a reflection that we don't have players who are prolific and hang around for too long! I'm just pleased that he has seemingly started to find his shooting boots and confidence again.

Sam never really come to life until a few years back. But since then he has been a genuine asset. In terms of interest in him. He has probably learnt a few lessons from other departures over the last few years, who on the whole have gone on to be bench warmers. I'm pretty sure that if the club had received any significant offers, he'd be gone.

Signed from QPR for £10000! Think he was then a half back according to the Evening Standard in the 60’s. It was Bowen who converted Frank to a C/F!

We complain there is no loyalty with players. It’s a shame that when one does show that attribute it’s claimed that’s because no-one else wants him.

How can anyone claim that loyalty is why he is still with us. Even if it is. You simply don’t know. I stand by my opinion. Given the right incentive, he would be off. Mainly because the club would want the money.. And who could blame him.

Agreed, although in Sam's case he's settled down, new house, young family etc, he's comfortable here so he'd automatically be more reluctant to uproot just for any old offer in the way a player with no ties might.
