I think you would need to take into consideration the feelings of the Fox family on this one. Why would anyone want a statue of their loved one depicting emotionally his lowest point in his professional career?
The statue should show emotions of delight. It should depict victory not despair. It's not a war memorial!

[quote="Bonzo":23qz4bj5]Corrected.
Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. [i:23qz4bj5]Who needs flankers[/i:23qz4bj5]' grammar was actually correct.
HTH.

A rare chance to celebrate our beloved sport and people seriously want one of the most famous images of dispair and failure to sum us up? You've got screws loose aplenty.

Don Fox was only kicking in that final because Neil Fox was injured, apart from being brothers that's the other link between an iconic player and THE iconic moment.

I know fully well who he played for. I was just marvelling at the hypocrisy of the original statement. "Put aside your club biases, the real choice is the player from my club!"
He'd be a great choice but the statement was stupid.

If the '66 World Cup was held in another country, with Bobby Moore captaining a victorious England team, there'd still be a statue of him outside Wembley.
Neil Fox is certainly deserving of a statue, but it'd be more fitting at Belle Vue surely? (Yes, I know he played for other clubs too).
The statue, IMO, should be of someone that fans of every club feel some sort of affinity with, someone who has achieved the highest acolade in the sport - captaining your country to a Wolrd Cup victory, for instance.

Don Fox is the Wembley moment. If it could be done tastefully and with his family's approval then that's the one.
If not Andy Gregory would be a good choice, a far better player than Edwards and no RU to tarnish his name.
