It's a great idea.
There are no bad words that should ever be used to describe this true Wigan legend.
Council should fund it, just cut the budget on the 'Believe in Wigan' campaign and the money could easily be found.
If not, then for something like this I would gladly pay a £10 surcharge (optional not mandatory) on my next years season ticket.

That is being very subjective. My old Dad only focused on Jim Sullivans playing career for Wigan. A career that is peerless. I guess there are hardly any fans around today who witnessed Sullys playing days. And it is for that reason why Sully won't be getting a statue.

You cannot take away the records that Sully broke in his Wigan playing days.Because overall, that record will never be matched or beaten.

I do think 'Billy B' ought to get a statue, but like the guy who is getting slagged off, I also can remember Billy when he sometimes had a pint before a game. Before some people get carried away with that. In the past there were one or two players who didn't/couldn't play unless they had had a drink.The current playing culture was not always thus.

Another example was the brilliant wingman John Ferguson, who was photographed actually still on the pitch immediately after the final whistle at the 1985 Wembley Challenge Cup Final when smoking a cigarette !

We are lucky as a town to have had so many great players play for Wigan.

Perhaps more than one Wigan player could be included? (similar to what is happening down at Wembley).

It would be interesting to see what names would be suggested by the public.

When Billy played the cigarette at half time was common place by a lot of players.
Things were so different then than now.
Just as a small measure though, Josh scored his 100th try in his 93rd game.
Billy B scored his 100th try in his 63rd game AFAIK!

to be fair my dad worshipped him and said he did get bigge and lose some pace was was always a beast. Just run oiver the top of everyone, loved it. Hate the vid rogues makes me miss cp even more
