[Toffeelover]

In comparison to Dixie Dean or Sir Stanley Matthews, will some one please clarify what Hughes or Stevens has done in football to merit a statue.

There is a statue of Emlyn Hughes on this planet!? FML

Took my lad to a physio for Osgood Schlatter Disease about 10 years ago , I was gobsmacked when it was GS who treated him.
Of course I blurted out "you're GS " - "yeah I was a footballer in another life " and we left it at that. Hes in Oz now I believe.
Of course my Lad was too young to remember him but he was impressed when I told him he played in the famous "Hand of God" match.

They came from Barrow. When you're from a little town, having a famous, very successful person coming from it is usually marked in some way.

Emlyn Hughes:

Willie Horne (rugby league legend):

Sir James Ramsden (town benefactor):

Henry Schneider (started the industrial revolution in Barrow):

24% Yes - 76% No.

Some work to do there, but I'm sure us Blues can change that.

After years of having to see the abomination of the Emlyn Hughes statue, it would be good to great to see Gary Stevens get one.

Little fact, my mum used to work with his Auntie at the hospital in Barrow. Got loads of old programmes in the loft what she got for me including a signed photo of him with the charity shield and the league trophy.

that makes it sound a bit like you have the league trophy in your loft.

i assume you don't. kudos if you do though.

Okies, done.

FA Cup Final, the team were pissing all over the RS, we're all enjoying the sunshine and the atmosphere at Wembley and that stupid pillock gives the ball away and our dreams ended. I'd build a statue all right, providing it was one where he's saying sorry to Howard, the team and the fans...............

......there'll be a petition for one of Slippy at the Pier Head. Guaranteed.
