Big Nev Statue

[bluesb1970]

Just seen a plea on Twitter for a Neville Southall statue to be built at the new stadium. The picture that goes with it is if him kicking the ball. I feel a better option would be one of him making a famous save. Question is which one would you go for? For me it’s the save from Falco. There’s plenty of options so which one would you go for?

Surely a Dixie Dean statue is all we need and could name a stand after Nev?

 

[gianthogweed]

I doubt he would even agree to it

A statue of him leaning up against a post would be boss.

Dixie,Bally,then Nev,i hope whatever the "rift"is between the big fella and the hierarchy at Goodison it is resolved whilst he is still around,life is way,way too short,of course he should have a statue or even a stand named in his honour at BMD.

I started going to games in the early 80s - before we were good. Then suddenly we were winning games, winning cups, winning leagues - it was incredible! And we did it without buying big name players. We had a team, and in 87 a squad that deserved it. Can't tell you how many players I absolutely adore from that era - Reid was just magnificent, Ratcliffe - a captain at that age, was just ridiculous, Stevens, nest right back I'd seen , Steven - oh my word, Bracewell - my favourite player for some time, Mountfield - a centre bAck getting double figures in goals, Gray - drove us on, Sharpy - goals galore, Van den Hauwe - none shall pass, Lineker - what a season for him, Power, hugely underrated and vital to our 87 league win... it goes on and one. But my heart leant towards 2 players. Adrian Heath - can watch his goals all day long, and he always put a shift in whether he was player up front or further back in midfield and he scored goals someone of his size had no right to - diving in to get his head on the ball ahead of 6 foot defenders - magical, Sheedy - really there aren't enough words to say how good he was - so many moments of genius and pure talent, and Nev. Best keeper in the world. End of. Build the statue, but it should include all of that 80's team

Honestly I don’t think he’d like it! Statues to me always seem more like something to commemorate someone who has passed, think he’s a bit too humble for all that.
Absolute legend though no doubt, even though I only got to see the end of his career live he just had an aura of being the best.

This is the only answer.

We got enough metal to make a statue of him.

whilst he is still around,

Exactly this. He should get to see it and know what he still means to us. Be very sad if we wait and something happens to Nev so that can't happen.

A stand is fitting but a banquet hall might be more suitable, the Southall south hall.
