Only player to play for a single club in all 4 divisions and gave his heart and soul for Fulham and he's not a legend? Que?

Well what on earth does it take then? Sorry but Sean is just my type of legend. Loyal, talented, a great representative of the club who always gave 100%. Legend.

Didn't Alan Cork and the lad currently at Swansea do this too?

Not sure about the Swansea lad, but yeah, it looks like Alan Cork did. I never knew that. Still, it wasn't Premier League so it doesn't count! ;)
:D
The lad I mean is still at Swansea. Hang on, I'll find him...
Leon Britton! But he did leave and play for Sheffield United so I guess that he might not count.
Anyway, Happy Birthday Sean!

Agreed. Definitely a Fulham legend as far as I'm concerned.
Completely unrelated to Fulham, but whilst googling Sean I came across this, which I found interesting...
http://www.faithandfootball.org.uk/more-player-stories.html?start=12 (http://www.faithandfootball.org.uk/more-player-stories.html?start=12)
we seemed to have signed quite a few players from the list... I wonder if that's coincidence? Considering we're founded by a church.
p.s. Tim Howard has tourettes sydrome?
The big point about Sean is that no player since has come through our junior system and then become an established and regular 1st team player for any length of time. Sean did this and he was pre academy.
He was a favourite, and gave a lot of us pleasure season after season and had his best years at Fulham.
Yes, he has to be a legend, shame he left us when he did but then a lot of our favourites have done that.
Happy birthday Sean.
Wish we could find another one like you.
He is a Fulham legend, played for us in all 4 leagues, left for different pastures but recognised that that was a mistake, and has come back to us in an Ambassador role.
Always gave everything to the cause, never shirked...and was a decent player.
Happy birthday Sean!!

Fair Enough....I just wonder if you consider anyone...bar of course JH .... a Fulham Legend???
I have met Sean many times....at various functions etc...and I consider him not just a Fulham Legend.....but also a real FFC fan...ie like one of us...quite unusual these (mercenary) days..
Pat , its all about opinions. A certain player can be good for one but not another fan, but the word legend is put about to easily. If i had to name names , apart from johnny h it wpould be gordon davies and jimmy hill.
And Mickey Adams .
Of course....and I believe a lot of people are unaware just what Jimmy Hill did for the club.....maybe in time there might be a statue of him...like that of JH....and the soon to be unveiled one of George Cohen...
I think Sean will always be in Fulham memories along with the other names you mention.
Just that iconic goal and the role he played in our getting to the Prem, and the fact that he came through the ranks with Fulham, surely give him permanent place in Fulham hearts.
He may not be as great a players as some of the others, but his wholehearted enthusiasm and sheer joy in playing for the club are what fans remember.
But the whole thing is subjective anyway. We could argue all night about what it means to be a Fulham 'legend.' Some probably would say only Haynes and Hill and a couple of others - everyone's entitled to their opinion though.
