Subject: Football League name their 100 footballing legends  (Sporting Life)

LEAGUE LEGENDS UNVEILED
By Mark Bradley, PA Sport Chief Soccer Writer

Top 5 Represented Clubs
17 Arsenal 14 Manchester United
14 Tottenham 11 Liverpool 10 Newcastle

The Football League have unveiled the names of their chosen`100 League
Legends' on a commerorative list designed as part of the celebrations
for their forthcoming centenary season. 

Six current Premiership stars are on the list, picked by football
journalists - Tony Adams, Paul Gascoigne, Alan Shearer, Ryan Giggs,
Peter Schmeichel and Dennis Bergkamp - while Eric Cantona also features. 

But the idea was to spread the names chronologically across all eras of
the game's development to emphasise the League's history. 

And while David Beckham and Michael Owen may be considered too young to
warrant a place, many a debate will no doubt be sparked by the omission
of internationals such as Jack Charlton, Trevor Brooking, David Seaman,
Ian Wright and Peter Beardsley. 

The list features 34 players whose careers began before the Second World
War, starting with West Bromwich Albion's Billy Bassett, who played in
the 1880s, through Dixie Dean, Tommy Lawton and Sir Stanley Matthews. 

There are a further 37 players who started after the war but had all
retired by 1980, from Nat Lofthouse, through Billy Wright and on to Sir
Bobby Charlton, Geoff Hurst and Denis Law. 

The remaining 29 players have all played during the 1980s or 1990s, from
Martin Peters and George Best, through Malcolm McDonald, Peter Shilton
and Kevin Keegan to Glenn Hoddle, Kenny Dalglish and Gary Lineker. 

Those of the `100 Legends' who can attend will be honoured with a
specially commissioned award at a Football League Centenary Dinner later
this coming season - the 100th in the history of the Football League. 

Football League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: ``The committee
had an immensely difficult task to choose just 100 `League Legends' but
I think that the list they have confirmed is almost impossible to
better.'' 

Sir Stanley, who played from 1932 to 1965, said: ``I think this is a
wonderful initiative and it's great to see so many of my footballing
friends and colleagues on the League Legends list.'' 

Sir Tom Finney added: ``It's a great honour to be nominated as a
Football League legend among so many outstanding players.'' 

Other centenary season initiatives include the establishment of a list
of `local heroes' at each of the 72 Football League clubs, as well as
the production of commemorative publications.

Billy Bassett - West Bromwich Albion (1888-1900)

BLANK CHEQUE
REDS' ACE CHASE LOOKING DOOMED
BY STUART MATHIESON

MANCHESTER United's bid to land a top-line striker for the start of the
season could end in tears.

The £9m move to bring Dutch hot-shot Patrick Kluivert to Old Trafford broke
down last night when the AC Milan ace decided to stay in Italy, and now
Aston Villa look ready to dig their heels in over the Dwight Yorke deal.

It is believed that United were ready to pay Kluivert a king's ransom in
wages to lure him from Milan, but the 22-year-old goal ace stunned United by
not even entering into discussions.

Now United's hunt to land Yorke will have heightened, with the start of the
Premiership just 12 days away.

Villa, though, look set to resist any increased Old Trafford approach for
the 26-year-old Trinidad and Tobago international.

Villa have already rejected out of hand an £8m bid from Old Trafford for
Yorke, and manager John Gregory said today: ``As far as I'm concerned I'm
planning for an opening day team that will include Dwight Yorke.

``The fact that United have not got Kluivert will have made them want to
keep Andy Cole even more, in which case the deal is dead in the water.

``I don't think my chairman is going to weaken and accept a cash offer.''

Alex Ferguson has already stated that United striker Andy Cole will not form
a part of a swap deal. And now that his dream double strike ticket has
fallen through with Kluivert's decision, off-loading players on a
one-for-one basis will do nothing to inject numbers into his first team
squad.

In the wake of United's Champions League and Premiership title collapse last
season, the United manager insisted his first team squad had to be filled
out to cope this season.

However, effectively only one extra ace, £4m winger Jesper Blomqvist, has
been added with Gary Pallister's departure evening out the import of Jaap
Stam.

United will have to rethink their £8m valuation of Yorke and test Villa's
resolve to reject straight cash if Fergie is to go into the new term with
added goal menace.

FAME NAMES
Reds aces win their places in soccer's top 100 legends
BY RICHARD BURGESS

MANCHESTER United duo Ryan Giggs and Peter Schmeichel have already secured
legendary status - according to the Football League.

A new list of 100 soccer legends has been unveiled to commemorate the
League's centenary season and some of Greater Manchester's greatest names
figure prominently.

George Best, Denis Law and Sir Bobby Charlton head the list of United
legends, while Colin Bell is there for City. But, surprisingly, there is no
place for Bell's illustrious team-mates, Francis Lee and Mike Summerbee.

Two of Maine Road's greatest goalkeepers, Bert Trautmann and Frank Swift,
are included along with Northern Irish star Peter Doherty.

Duncan Edwards and Tommy Taylor are picked out from United's famous Busby
Babes team of the 1950s.

Wing wizard Billy Meredith, who played for both City and United in the early
1900s, is one of the earliest names on the list which includes players from
all eras of the game's development.

Of the more up-to-date names, there are former United heroes Bryan Robson,
Paul McGrath and Eric Cantona, while Maine Road favourite Trevor Francis is
also featured.

Six current Premiership stars are on the list, picked by football
journalists - Giggs, Schmeichel, Tony Adams, Paul Gascoigne, Alan Shearer
and Dennis Bergkamp. And while David Beckham and Michael Owen may be
considered too young to warrant a place, many a debate will be sparked by
the omission of internationals such as Jack Charlton, Trevor Brooking, Ian
Wright and Peter Beardsley.

The list features 34 players whose careers began before the Second World
War, starting with West Bromwich Albion's Billy Bassett, who played in the
1880s, through Dixie Dean, Tommy Lawton and Sir Stanley Matthews.

There are a further 37 players who started after the war but had all retired

The remaining 29 players have all played during the 1980s or 1990s, from
Martin Peters and George Best, through Malcolm McDonald, Peter Shilton and
Kevin Keegan to Glenn Hoddle, Kenny Dalglish and Gary Lineker.

season. Football League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: ``The

friends and colleagues on the list.''

Sir Tom Finney added: ``It's a great honour to be nominated as a Football
