TractorHawks Legends of Sports Series

As a new series of articles to throw into the mix, I am introducing a series entitled “TractorHawk Legends of Sports.” At least once a month, and maybe every couple of weeks time permitting, we’ll take a look back at a legendary team, player, coach, or sporting icon associated with the interests of this site.

There are just a couple guidelines for selection.

1. They must have contributed to the particular game or sport, for the most part, during my sporting lifetime, which goes back about 40 years so there is no shortage of candidates! There will be a couple of exceptions that cannot be passed.

2. They are somewhat aligned with the general sporting interests and teams of this site. But that does not mean that we will just focus on players from Ipswich, England, and Seattle. I am more than happy to take requests from readers, so if you have someone you would like to nominate feel free to comment below – I’ll add a ‘recommended by’ note to the tribute. All requests will be considered. As you will see many of the subjects will have had an impact on the sporting world and contributed to a variety of clubs and teams.

I already have a pretty decent list of candidates to get this historical perspective started but, as I mentioned, if you have a player or team that you think are worthy of consideration from any era just fire away below and let me know who and why.

Cheers!
