Quote ="John Gilbert Reds"Damn, what gave it away?
Fact is since I've been supporting Salford (early 1990's) the only player that comes close to legend status is Alker, as much as I wish I had witnessed the likes of Watkins, Fielding, Gill, Charlton etc in the 70's I didn't.'"
The term Legend is banded about too freely when talking about sports people.
Alker for all the hype about him was a hard working hooker nothing more nothing less.
Aaron Moule, Andrew Dunneman Gavin Clinch are just three players from recent history who in their short time at the club had a much more profound effect than Alker ever did.
If Alker is the only Player people can think of to nominate as a Legend from recent times then it goes to show just how $hite we have been.
