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 As someone who goes away, all the regular faces adore the bloke and sing the words to the song because they hold him in such high esteem. For a long time, Ric was pretty much the only player who made away days bearable and meant we had a meaningful chance of getting a result.

Also, there is nothing more embarassing and cringeworth, and less respectful than singing a subs name....We should be singing and supporting the players on the pitch not those off the pitch Wouldn't happen if our exiting players wern't always on the bench though would it.

If Fuller isn't a legend, I'd like to know who we've had in the last 30 years who is, beyond Stein.

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? yes the reason hes got a sing is because he is a fans favourite The reason they dont sing the words ISNT because they/we dont think he's a legend...but then again I dont think the reason we constantly sing that song is because he's a legend...I just think.its because its a good song....We used sing the Mama song loads, when he was on the bench too. My point was purely Bunny couldnt back up the statement that Fuller is a legend by saying fans sing his name when warming up That is all PS I hate when people know my name and I don't know them haha

The fact that people were singing it when the QPR game kicked off a he appeared on the bench for the first time should tell you it's all about the man and not the song.

The mind boggles. i dont think hes a legend at all - a legend to me is someone like Matthews, Banks, Ritchie, Hudson, Smith, Fox, Stein.. hes undoubtedly important in our history... is he a bellend? .. i think so, to a degree.. the stamp on saturday, the griffslap... etc etc..

Each to their own, I'm only old enough to have seen Steino and Foxy from your list but given what Ric contributed to our rise from mid-table misfits in the Championship to a team that defenders feared and who comfortably stayed in the Prem after all those years in the wilderness he'll do for me.

If Ricardo Fuller isn't considered a legend, then it's going to be hard to think of another player from this modern era who could be considered one, and after everything that's happened over the past few years, that's not right is it?
Fuller played a larger part than most in getting this club back into the top flight of English football for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century, and when we were there, he more than played his part in helping us to stay here. From that platform we've gone on to establish ourselves in this league, reach our first ever FA Cup Final and play in Europe.
He's quite simply the most exciting Stoke player we've had for a very long time, and arguably has made some of our football worth watching for a large part of the last six years.
I don't know what problem some people have with this. It's pretty bloody pathetic really.

Best player you've ever seen sums up how long you've supported us and the lack of choice you've had to choose from. He's always had that in him, even more so now that I could out run him at the age of 41! daydream believer springs to mind

I seem to recall having similar conversations about Thorney at the time.. you'd hardly call him a lege would you?

H That is bang on the money RAF.....How ANYBODY can knock him is beyond me!! They would sooner see plodders like the above and Walters and go all game , week after week watching no pace no trickery and two shots ( loosely ) per game? Pathetic....hang yer heads

H im not a myopic troll.. or at least i dont think so... ;D i think the only players we have that have the potential to become legends are Shawcross and wilko, for different reasons... I love ric and everything hes done for us, but im sorry hes just not there for me.. id put georgie and mad mick up there ahead of him..

When it comes to singing songs about our legends Rics song will be sung in many a bar with all the other legends of the past and the future. Maybe we might just see him on the pitch again this season but next season I dont think so.

Fuller has been ace for a long time. What he did satdee was truly appalling and hoprrible but to only remember that suggests some people have just got it in for him.

He's probably achieved 'legend' status due to the fact he is one of the few creative players we've seen at the Brit in the last 6 years that's stayed more than a season.

RAF et al no one is knocking Fuller...Just the fact that the termblegend is over used...and hes done.nothing ti be singled out to be a legend. Liam Lawrence scored arguably the nost important and.set up many important goala in.our promotion season.
hes not considered a legend.
Just because Fuller as the ability to excite fans and fans sibg his his name in a catchy song...doesnt nake Fuller any nore of a legend than any other players from promotion season

Legendary return to action and a legendary away day. There's no debate about that. btw Ric scored our first ever prem goal, Liam our first at home

Have a word with yourself. Fuller didn't just entertain, he carried the team's attacking threat from open play pretty much every season he was at the club. Without him we weren't the same team.

Wilko for me is a definite possibility (even given his limited ability) a local lad that made first team regular and possibly stayed his entire career. He'd join Denis and the Beest on my list of legends(its that exclusive).

Legend status is strange concept anyway... players normally achieve legend status AFTER they've stopped playing so because Ric is still playing then that's surely a sign that he is in fact a 'legend'.
Also scorerates can't be the only factor to determine a players legend status. Things such as score rates, technical ability, teamwork, flair, skill, memorable goals, character, personality, charity work, popularity, impact on the club, fame etc etc must also be taken into consideration.
