But brought the game into disrepute in the 1966 final.
Personally I'd go for Shaun Edwards as I doubt his eleven Wembley finals will ever be matched.
Another two worth consideration, Eric Ashton, first player to captain a side to two successive final victories, coach a Wembey winning team and be a director (chairman?) of a Wembley winning team.
Jim Sullivan, World record goal kicker and first man to captain a winning Rugby League Challenge Cup team at Wembley. |

| I'd love to say Murphy, but my first memory of a Wembley final was watching on TV as Offiah tore Alan Tait a new , so I think he'd have to get my vote  |

i can understand anyone going for Shaun Edwards , but i think we need to be careful here.
just think about how we have to contend with certain bbc presnters when we have a big RL game televised they always want to bring union into the conversation.
Imagine the pre final show outside Wembley bbc person saying there is the statue of the great Shaun Edwards the famous Wasp's and wales coach.
who knows he may even be Englands coach by that time |

Edwards for me. 9 winners medals will never be matched.
Either that or Jim Sullivan as he was first to win a medal. No other real contenders.

| whoever they pick it'll not please everyone.
and tbh he think they should have had a person in mind before they started raising money.
whats the point of raising money, getting a kitty , and having no idea what to spend it on.
the target should be defined before they start out on a random project.
it really is a difficult one.
whoever they pick , it wont go down well with fans of other clubs, so im going for a non-player.
no idea who though. |

Whoever is picked, not everyone will be pleased.
I'm sorry but I don't go along with the 'it has to be a former Wigan player' notion. IMO if they do make a RL statue for Wembley, it has to be of a true RL legend.
It doesn't necessarily HAVE to be a Wembley legend, you've got to remember that this statue will represent RL - not Wembley, and on that basis my vote goes to Mike Gregory.

Then it has to be Eric Ashton, captained his country to an Ashes win in Australia. The first player to captain a winning team in two successive Challenge cup Finals.
The first man to be a player, coach and chairman of a winning Wembley team. |
