Legends Top Trumps

Call me saddo if you like but I had an idea for Watford legend Top Trumps to celebrate 125 years.

Catagories I've come up with are:

D.O.B.
Height
Weight
Goals up to 06/07
WFC league caps up to 06/07
Legend Rating

some examples so far....


Alec Chamberlain
D.O.B. 20/06/1964
Height 6’2”
Weight 13St10lbs
Goals 0
WFC league caps 245
Legend Rating 8


Marlon King
D.O.B. 26/04/1980
Height 6’1”
Weight 12St3lbs
Goals 22
WFC league caps 43
Legend Rating 5

Tommy Mooney
D.O.B. 11/08/71
Height 5’ 11”
Weight 12St 06lbs
WFC Goals 58
WFC league caps 211

John Barnes
D.O.B. 07/11/1963
Height 5’11”
Weight 12St 07lbs
WFC Goals 65
WFC league caps 232
Legend Rating 10

Luther Blisset

Most of the stats can be picked up here:

Others I've thought of,

Kenny Jacket, Robert Page, Pat Jennings etc.

Do you think there's any mileage in it (obviously not in a commercial sense) and got any suggestions? Might put together a word doc for download in the hornets nest.

OOOH goodie... open season on calling you a saddo!!!! SADDO!! lol

But seriously... good idea!

Hornmeister, seriously, that IS a brilliant idea. I would get in contact with the club and suggest it ASAP. I and every hornet I know would 100% definately buy a pack. If you're a brave boy today then post it on the main site boards and see the reaction it gets. If you do then make sure you make it obvious it's 100% your idea, then tell them to come over here and add to this thread ;D.

Honestly mate, you've hit on gold with that idea.

[Hornmeister]

Not the first I'm afraid, on scouting around later I found a couple of other fan sites that are doing the same. Besides it probably infringes on every copyright ever invented.

If I get a decent set put together then I might suggest it. Just diggin up some archive photos to go with them, the one of JB is a classic!

I wish I had shorts like that.

So long as you call it something other than "top trumps" as that is a registered trade mark there shouldnt be any copyright laws broken.

Problem is the stats are pinched from websites and so are the pics. Anyway think it's better if it's an exclusive set for the the forum members.

The stats are stats anyone would come up with using the same math but you would need to be careful about the pics.
The last thing you want is for the photographer/website owners/players got hold of them, the lawsuit would be horrendous.
One thing that you have to make sure is tat you dont make money from it and make it clear that its not a commercial project.
I do alot of PSP work making Tags and I can use any "tubes" i wish so long as i dont profit from it!
