| Quote Father Ted="Father Ted"Eric Ashton.
As the write up says, first man to win the C Cup as Captain, Coach and Chairman.
First Rugby League player to be named in the Honours List.
Won the C Cup three times and a series (Ashes) win against Australia.
Also a great ambassador the Rugby League.
Eric would get my vote!'"

I agree. Offiah was good, but not good enough for something like this statue.
With Eric Ashton he was a very good player too, but IMHO, if he had not had Billy Boston on his outside, he would not have been so famous.
It's normally the other way round that centres make the winger. Not in Billys case. The winger made the centre.
Manys the time he dragged 3 and 4 players over the line with him to score.

| Offiah scored the best try ever seen at Wembley and he's arguably the finest winger GB have produced in the last 30 years or more. Clearly not good enough for a piece of metal though, no.

Was just about to post the same
Don't forget he has a bar named after him as well at Wembley.
I originally voted for Andy Greg. 9 appearances, 0 defeats.

| 'Alex Murphy captained three different sides at the iconic venue and has an unbeaten record at the stadium as both player and coach. Murphy is honoured to even be considered for the Rugby League statue at Wembley.'
Apologies to the RFL if my memory is fading but I'm sure murphy was coaching stains in 89 for the 27 to nil final. Iirc he transfer listed most of the team after the game. The beeb and sky are forever making mistakes when reporting abou rl but surely the inept RFL should get their facts right

Also Warrington lost to Widnes in 1975 under Murphy. Although he was the coach he did not play.

Murphy is big headed and arrogant enough, without a statue.
I think someone who.s middle name is "humilty" should get it........and theres a guy who sits in the West every game who fits the bill (excuse the pun)
