Fuller was just a 'good player on his day' and a 'cult hero.' Funny as fuck that is. Hilarious. His consistency over the last 3 years prior to this was outstanding, every game he was a real handful. He scores a great goal probably once or twice a season, but he had a great game more or less every time he pulled on a Stoke shirt. Read my blog in the siggy for all my thoughts, think on a subject like this it's impossible to get anywhere debating on a forum, people have their views. Even if some of them are complete shit. I think you have a pretty broad range of opinion about ric on here ,from one extreme to the other plenty of scope for debate, no one divides opinion like ric

No denial I see. (I appreciate Fuller just as much as every other player that has done well for the club. Without changing history to make it out as a one man job.) Horseshit. You've always stuck the knife into him.

I doubt I'll ever question my opinion on Fuller.
If I'm ever daft enough to do so, I'll simply re-affirm it by knowing that he's virtually the only Stoke player to get the crowd either off their seat or singing even when he's warming up.

I don't think anyone could question Ric's ability, or his importance to the side in our promotion or survival season. If it wasn't for his temperament we would never have been lucky enough to see him in a Stoke shirt as his skill was good enough to grace the highest stage and, although he has scored some stunning goals, I think his biggest goal was against Villa when be showed that he could tear Prem defences to pieces.
That said, after that incident at Upton Park I would never regard Ric as a legend as, IMO, his lack of repect was truly disgusting and that act could have destroyed us and seen us relegated. I know others disagree, it's the beauty of the game, and that's my reasons for having a huge amount of respect for his talent but also the reason il never regard him as a legend.

I just don't understand all this hysterical Anti-Fuller stuff...
Ric is the most exciting striker we've had for a generation
Crouch Jones AND kitson are not fit to lace Ric's boots
Pulis doesn't like Ric and has been looking for an opportunity to offload him for a very long time..but didn't dare because of the backlash Pulis would have recieved from hardcore Stokies
Unfortunately, by being a daft twat Ric has now done TP's job for him
In the last 30 years only Mark Chamberlain with his runs down the wing have been more enjoyable to watch than Ricardo Fuller on his day

The fact that we don't all agree is proof that Fuller will never be regarded as a legend. Legends unite every fan. No one has anything bad to say about true legends.

I reckon barring a few on here the reaction he gets at matches says he pretty much unites the majority of Stokies and that'll do for me.

So is Maradona an international/ world cup legend, or an Argentinian one as there must be some that are embarrassed by his antics and dislike his allegiances?

It's certainly an interesting definition. Presumably because Alan Hudson liked a drink and was a bit of a rogue he can't be one either...

Maradona is a legend in Argentina / South America. I will never regard him as a legend. He was a fantastic player but he was a cheat. Pele, Banks and Moore were true legends. Has anyone got anything bad to say about them ?

I don't I thought your definition was that if anyone could say anything bad about them they couldn't be a legend, because legends don't divide people?

Changing sport I had an uncle who thought Ali was too arrogant, bet he wasn't alone.

We are where we are in the league today because of Ric!
If he hadn't been sent off the other day we probably would have sneaked a point and been in 10th ;D
It's a team game, everyone contributes. Ric has played his part and for that he should be recognised. However his idiotic mistakes also need to be recognised.

If it wasn't for the tits at the back of block 19 singing it, it wouldnt be sung unless he's on the pitch.
Very rare, the actualy words are sang, nor the Ricardo Fuller, Ricardo Fuller (to the tune of gifton Noel Williams) is sang....People like the song, you can't say, singing the song proves he's a legend...It's a catchy song, and you could ask any fan what their favourite chant is, and 9/10 they'll say the City's number 10 chant not because they think Fuller is a legend, but because they like the song

Isn't it more likely they don't sing the words because they don't know them and it's easier to sing the na na bit? It isn't sung when he's out injured and won't be sung next season, so obviously the Block 19 can control their funky urges to some extent eh? And do you think there might be a reason why he has a song in the first place?
