| Either:
Ellery Hanley - great player, did a lot at Wembley, and (I think) first black player to captain Great Britain at any sport
Don Fox - iconic
Neil Fox - world record points holder and scored most points in a Wembley final
Someone from first ever Wembley final

| It should be someone that people can still relate to/recognise outside of RL. A lot of the names in here don't fit that. Edwards or Offiah (or both!) would be ideal.

| I think it should be a Wire player to celebrate their dominance. After all we got the pies why they got the prize. I hope the marketing manager at Wire is still cringing as much as i am.

| Having read the thread I would now switch my preference to Edwards first then Hanley because it is Wembley and Edwards was the constant through Wigan's Wembley run. He is relatively recent so would mean more to people and nobody could argue about his quality as a player or his Wembley pedigree.
I think some fans of other clubs are showing themselves up in this debate with their stupid arguments that Edwards shouldn't be recognised for his rugby league career due to having been a successful RU coach.

But it is England's national stadium and a celebration of rugby league, and we would have the current Welsh rugby union coach as our symbol, who when playing for England at Wembley got himself sent off.
A great player, but maybe not for a rugby league commemoration. Hanley yes.

Lol got me there but he is the finest player I have ever seen.
I haven't seen the likes of Boston,Murphy(who my dad say is the best player ever)Vollenhoven and the list is endless.
For me what it is about Hanley he had a presence like no other RL player in history,in my eyes he is a God.

| How about Jeff Lima holding his Lance Todd trophy aloft and a plaque reading "Jeff Lima: I don't even know who Lance Todd is to be honest".
