How come they'd heard of Gus Risman, who retired from playing in the early 50's, and Fox's contemporary Eric Ashton? Come to that given the game is played mainly in Lancashire, Cumberland and Yorkshire, all the players on the plinth played for Lancashire clubs? In fact three of them played for Wigan. Something rotten in the state of Denmark IMO.
No Dick Huddart, no Vinty Karalius, no John Whiteley. All great international players who played at Wembley.

Cumberland? WHERE

When Dick Huddart, who was from there, was playing that's what it was called.

How any real Rugby League fan could claim to have missed the vote for the Wembley statue is beyond me. It went on and on for months and was very widely publicised at national, local and club level.

Neil Fox was one of the candidates who wasn't selected.

Wankfield get mentioned before every challenge cup match with don fox. Shut up whinging

How’s life in division oblivion? Can’t wait until the next unpaid tax bill comes along.

Who is Neil Fox?

Lock it now.

You just won’t let Wexford take the prize for most embarrassing field fan will you?

Go on please regale is with tales of how it’s the councils fault the latest stadium lie isn’t going to happen.

Sorry But I saw nothing. I knew there was to be a plinth at Wembley, but not who was to be on it. Perhaps I don't count as a real Rugby League fan, I've only been following the game as a player (amateur) and supporter since 1959. Or perhaps it's just Stupor League fans who count as "real?"

Loser!

Nice come back
