How ever many genuine ones there have been, try getting them all into a book with room for just 32.
When does a player move from a 'great' to a 'legend?' It could be argued that some may not have been greats, but you can't argue that they attained
legendary status among the blue-and-white hordes.
The top names are all in a pocket-sized (well,anorak-pocket-sized) book just published, Legends of Sheffield Wednesday, published by At Heart publications through The Star.
It starts with three giants of the late 19th century, with Fred Spiksley, the first player to score a hat-trick at Hillsborough. It was still Owlerton at that time.
The great eras throw up names forever etched in Wednesday folklore: Ernie Blenkinsop, Ellis Rimmer, and more from before the War. Then the 1940s and '50s and such as Derek Dooley, Redfern Froggatt.
The next era has to include such as Ron Springett and John Fantham, and favourites from the last two real successful times in the '80s and '90s: Terry Curran, Mel Sterland, David Hirst, Roland Nilsson, John Sheridan, Chris Waddle.
There are potted biographies on all and numerous photographs.
