What has Baker done to deserve legendary status? A good half season and two goals at home to Stockport? As much as I like the guy, when it comes to naming legends Carl is nowhere near Thommo and Twissy.
(I can feel a razor across my wrist moment coming up!)
I agree with you Ben,
Baker had the potential to go on to become a legend.
But to place his name along side players like Norman, Coleman, Jackson,[ insert any of many names], Grimshaw, Twiss and to a lesser extent Thomson. Well it seems to me just plain wrong.
Baker couldn't even last the full season. First season of full time football?
Don't get me wrong, I liked the guy.
I loved it when he went on his mazy runs and got annoyed when he lost the ball, then loved it when he hurried off after the player who stole it.
Good bit of business by the board in my opinion. Good for both parties, good luck Carl (I mean it too).
