Given the news City are going to celebrate El Mago with a statue outside the ground, who would be your top picks for a statue of our own? The flower bed outside the chippy is the perfect spot for one. Just for fun, genuinely interested to hear people's thoughts.

Noel White, Peter Swales, Jack Swindells, Parky and Johnny King done as a mini Mt Rushmore! 😉


Perhaps not. Would take a bit of light off the semis! 😂😂

On a more serious note I would be supportive of our stands being named after some of our true legends, particularly those no longer with us.

Noel White and Jackie Swindells immediately spring to mind for any permanent honour.

They cost a fortune, obviously, but what prestige it would give the area around the ground if we could flaunt our history a bit.

Obviously, it would be a statue of the peerless Tunna bestriding Moss Lane like the Colossus of Rhodes:

Indeed. A labour of love.

Mind you, I'm still trying to remove some remnants of the gold paint....and now know how Shirley Eaton felt in Goldfinger.

King and Heathcote with the possiblity of Noel White, Bernard Taylor, George Heslop and Ecky... There contributions to the club go way beyond money,time and dedication for what  what they all have done for the club in there own way cannot be underestimated and each one of these men will be part of the rich history of this club forever.

So many names.   How about an unfurled scarf being held aloft by a multitude of Alty, dedicated to all. With love.
