Who deserves the next statue?

[Rhys Lightning 63]

Just came to mind, with the increased TV income from this year, most of it will go towards players and eradicating debt (assuming we have some left, I'm not 100% sure what the deal is with that, somebody told me that WE were debt free and MAF had taken it all on personally, but I digress).

However, what if we were to put it towards another statue? Put it alongside the Haynes one, or indeed maybe nearer the Hammersmith End.

The Johnny Haynes one came around after us fans begged the club to build one after we earned 'Best Behaved Fans' award for 07/08 and it came with a £20,000 cheque.

So if we were, theoretically, to put up a new statue. Who should it be and where should it go?

May as well get your money's worth in terms of materials, so Big Jim Stannard.  Mount it on wheels and put it in whichever goal we're defending

That suggests not a lot of faith in Stekelenburg

Sorry to disagree but that JH statue came about because of the dedicated campaigning of the likes of LB and a few others. The rest of us just submitted a few ideas.

[The Doctor]

Not at all, haven't seen him play that often to be honest.  More for comic purposes

[Frankie-Peter Taylor]

Ray Lewington... He's done so much for FFC so over the years and perhaps deserves recognition more than anyone else.

I'll take your word for it. It all came about when I was starting 6th form, so I didn't pay 100% attention to the goings on

[The Doctor]

Peabody's spot on.  The £20k prize pot was convenient timing and was conditional upon being spent on "initiatives to benefit the fans", so the already up-and-running JH statue was an obvious choice.  Some of us helped out with bucket collections at a few games and I think the balance was paid by MAF

Is there really ANY alternative other than Chairman MO for a new statue ? I could also recommend it's location - either just outside the Hammy End OR it could replace another, errm, rather less loved statue that is already in place.  :Haynes The Maestro:

[Holders]

If Chairman Mo were too modest to commission one of himself, then Jimmy Hill. Might take a bit of extra bronze/plastic for the chin though.

 049:gif  Ralph McTell.... For those who do not know who he is, look it up on google.... after you have finished your homework!!  :yay:

[Burt]

MAF is a good call. Were it not for him, I dread to think where we would be today...

[Andy S]

George Cohen The only Fulham player to appear in a world cup final much less win it.

Jimmy Hill who went out of his way to save the club. Without him we were down the river

[Jack Fulham]

Can't think anyone really. We've already got one statue too many.

Both good call, mate.

But MAF is a great shout.

"the unknown supporter"

for those of us who have had to support such "challenging" teams over the years
