I hate it in football when a player throws themselves in front of the ball to block a shot, and the commentator says 'he put his body on the line there'...... WTF.
But when you look at what LC goes through to get out on the pitch, I think that phrase is appropriate. Hopefully not to the detriment of his long term health.
Well played Chambo lad. |  |

Feel incredibly lucky to have a character like this in our team, delighted he's spending the next 2 years with us. Will be sad when he retires but hopefully remains in the club beyond that. |  |

So important to have this kind of presence at a football club. His shortcomings on the pitch (vastly exaggerated by some ignorant fans) are more than made up for off it.
Very pleased he signed a new deal. |  |

That photo of the confrontation with Bailey at Millwall.
For a minute I thought it was a fan (it's actually Bailey) on the pitch. Mind you, the Town player on the left (can't recognise them) looks like someone pre-match in The Curve Bar. |  |

Point is he brings a lot more to the party. Presences like his are important at clubs like ours... especially underfunded clubs like ours. His mentoring and support of the youngsters is in itself worth (part of) his wage.
He certainly brings more to the party than you, you big donut. | |

Everybody knows that he isn't a stand out player. To say he isn't 'good' is absurd, he's the highest ever appearance maker in the championship.
The 'hype' is probably clear if you actually read the article. | |

Didn't bother reading it did you. Let me summarise to suit your no doubt low attention span. The man is a credit to our football club and a fantastic person to have at our club. What he offers our young talented kids and the support he gives them is brilliant. He offers our club almost certainly more than any other player when you look at everything he does for us. He's not our most talented footballer. He is a good Centre Back at this level and an incredible captain. He'll do me!
I lost you didnt i. Oh well. | |

Whilst I acknowledge what he has out into the club, you have to also recognize that he is a very limited footballer. I doubt whether anyone who has supported Town for more than 40 years would consider him anywhere near qualifying to be a legend.. | | | |

I think the term legend is banded about too easily nowadays and don't want us to become like Norwich, handing out this moniker to anyone.
However, whilst 'legends' usually arise during spells of excellent football by a team...Wark, Beattie, Mariner, SBR, Sir Alf etc, I think its important to recognise what Chambers has done for the club in some of its darkest days.
It is very evident from what others at the club say that he has kept us together in difficult times. You've not heard him moan about it, you've not seen him throw in the towel. One of the comments I liked the most in the article was Chambers comment that he always wants more to be heard about what players to do on the pitch than off it.
We've had some woeful, arrogant, pee-and-wage-taking players in recent years, coupled with some terrible managers and Chambers has kept the house in order by the sound of things.
Does that make him a legend? I'm not sure, but it certainly should earn him a welcome at PR anytime in the future. | |

i'll be honest, when the word legend is chucked around when ncfc name a legends team for example, or someone like Hoolahan, many many people on here are quick to say
"legend, never won a thing with that club, shows how tinpot they are"
and now we use that term in exactly the same way for one of ours..... |  |

Hoolahan is definitely deserving of the term legend. Just as Chambers is for what he has done for this club off the pitch. |  |

I don't understand what how long you have been a supporter has to do with that. It doesn't mean that I or anyone else can't acknowledge that Chambers isn't anywhere close to the standard of Wark, Beattie, Muhren etc.
However, for what he has done for this club on and off the pitch for the last 300 and whatever games, he deserves that term for me. Never once hid, has played with broken bones and been a brilliant representative of Ipswich Town. Not many players join a club and embody the values like he has.

He'll definitely stay on as a coach, I'd love to see Chambers and Skuse strike up a partnership like Mowbray and Venus did, take over the reins after Lambert. |  |

Any of the true legends (for example Mariner, Wark or The Beat) would not last a season with the Ipswich of today. They would be sold on like Kieron Dyer as soon as they got real value.
Even in the premier league era, perhaps only Marcus, Matt and maybe Hermann would be considered club legends. And they played in our best finishing premier league team.
But for where we are now, and have been for many years, Chambers is the pick of the bunch. Wherever we are in 10 or 20 years, he will be remembered for everything he has done for us at a fairly low point in the clubs existence. As the stand out member of the team right now (for the reasons in the linked article), surely that makes him worthy. [Post edited 26 Mar 2019 23:15]

We wouldn't have even got the likes of Wark, Brazil and Burley anywhere near Ipswich in the first place nowadays, we must have had a decent scouting system in Scotland at the time. They all came down as kids and made their league debuts with Ipswich. Now every youth team game is filmed,there's armies of scouts and analysts working for big clubs and they hoover up all the young talent, the likes of Man City and Chelsea who have a million players out on loan. | |

For me he is a 'legend' in the way he has been a great servant for the club like a Micky Stockwell rather than because he was an absolute top player like your Warky or Beattie is. |  |

I completely agree with that, and certainly not saying LC isn’t that in my eyes | |
