Re: Is this guy a 'legend'?

You can't just call anyone a 'legend'. The word gets banded around too much for my liking.

Anyway, you should have put 'Tony Ellis=Legend'

If that guy is then surely this guy must be!

Re: Is this guy a 'legend'?

Of course he's a legend.
Ooohhh Tony has left me with plenty of fond memorys.
The 1-0 at Carlisle, last five minutes,
his wonder goal against Chester at home,
the FA Cup win at Mansfield,
Crewe away, a 4-3 defeat. Didn't matter to me, the highlight was the Oh Tony Ellis stickers a north ender has made up and plastering the train with them on the way home. ( Stuck them round school as well the next day )

His slightly over confident manner, the tash, the quiff. Only he could get away with that. I've not even mentioned his hat trick.....
 
Re: Is this guy a 'legend'?

I'd agree with Cedar Room, he's a legend - he is admired for his skill and talent when he played for PNE. Those memories can't be entirely wiped out by a rather confusing transfer to Blackpool. The fact is, they offered more wages that PNE, and he had his family to put first.

It makes him an infamous legend, but a legend all the same.
 
Re: Is this guy a 'legend'?

Tony Ellis was a great player! I have loads of old videos and the guy was a special talent and he scored some unbelievable goals for us. So yes he is a Legend
 
Re: Is this guy a 'legend'?

I have a little story about Judas.

Four PNE fans including me were queuing up for Spuds on the flag market when Judas and another player who I think was Flynn were walking past. One of the lads I was with who was 18 at the time said not that loudly "Look lads it's Tony Ellis and Mickey Flynn"

We looked and said nothing and Ellis said in a proper piss taking voice said "Yeah It's Tony Ellis".

From that moment on it confirmed my already strongly held view that the guy was a Twat.

Fair enough if we had surrounded him and asked for his autograph he might have been pissed off but it was just a quiet comment by a young lad which he should of just ignored but instead he chose to take the piss.

Only a legend could be such a twat.

Defo a legend.
 
Re: Is this guy a 'legend'?

For me yes, i was certainly gutted & felt somewhat betrayed when he did go to 'that place' but as someone said they were offering more money on wages.
 
Re: Is this guy a 'legend'?

The guy's a legend.
End of the day him and beck hated each other, one had to leave and it wasn't goin to be the manager.
Ellis loved it here, gary peters said as soon as beck left tony's agent was bombarding him with calls begging to sign him.

One of the best players I've seen at PNE !!!!
 
Re: Is this guy a 'legend'?

I heard that he got his groupies to chant the mantra "Ooh Tony Ellis" as he was kn0bbing them.

Actually, I didn't. But I'd like to think it was true.

At his zenith, he was the biggest crowd favourite since JT and no one has come particularly close since.

A legend. No doubt about it.
 
Re: Is this guy a 'legend'?

I'm assuming that those on this board who think it was OK for Tony to go to the lashers for more money, also think that it was OK for Healy, Lewis etc to do the same thing?
