| For me it has to be Mike Gregory.
This statue will cause plenty of arguments and petty rows with many opposing fans, but who could argue against Mike.
Great player, fantastic man, great coach and former Great Britain captain.

Mike Gregory and Wembley don't go hand in hand though. Edwards, Hanley, Offiah.... Yes.

| What about a few statues of The various knock ons that Roy Haggerty did in the '89 final.

| Edwards is only famous as a player though and took the buck at union, it has to be someone timeless, Alex Murphy won it 3 times with 3 clubs picked up the LT trophy, something i'm told Edwards didn't regardless of the amount of times he played, Murphy also played for GB when they used to actually beat the Aussies with ease, has a world cup to his name as well.

It would get covered in pies every time we got to Wembley, just like he did when he came to Central Park as coach of Saints.

| As A single statue the image of Offiah with his face in his hands would be a good one but i'd like to see something along the lines of Arsenals Player wall at the Emirates with the likes of Hanley, Offiah, Senior, Robbie Paul, Sean Long etc in more of a collage

Don't be daft. Sean Long never went to college...
I'll get my coat
Sean Long has no real affinity with Wembley. Robbie Paul isn't a bad shout though.

i still remember it like it was yesterday and the old man always says its the greatest try he's seen. Add to that Alan Tait saying Offiah couldn't take people on the outside just a week before made it all the sweeter.

| More seriously, Edwards. Why let worries about the RFU remove him from our history? Without Wigan's Wembley years it's likely they'd never have even heard of him.
