I've just read the article on the Wildcats website that the Wembley statue will consist of five players, Risman, Boston, Murphy, Ashton and Offiah. While I've no issue with any of the aforementioned players, I feel it is a complete disgrace that Don Fox is not included. His missed kick at the watersplash final is the most iconic Wembley moment if not one of the most iconic moments in Rugby League! It is a clip played before every final and just about every cup match wakefield play in which is televised. I know I am biased as a Wakefield fan, but I feel that every rugby fan has to agree that it would be fitting to have Fox on the Statue.

Sorry to disagree but Neil is the Fox who should be there! He appeared in three Wembley finals and is the world record points scorer. I appreciate Don was MOM in THAT final but sadly he is remembered for the wrong reason.
I really don't understand why they have overlooked Neil and I don't really care. The main place for a statue of Neil is at the new ground where he can be seen by people who do appreciate him.

I voted for Neil Fox as he was on the original list. Kept extending the voting period, sure they did it til they got the names they wanted.

Just Like Billy Bremner and others there is only one place for Neil Fox and thats out side our new ground once built.
How the RFL could over look the World record points scorer is beyond me and any other sport would have the record scorer first in line.
It just goes to show how the RFL are a law unto themselves.

An absolute disgrace that world record points scorer, m o m at Wembley, record points scorer at Wembley , and member of RL Hall of Fame not included.
A real gentleman as well.

I lost interest in this when it became obvious that the voting would be manipulated until they got the names they wanted;

Me too. Let's just make sure that Neil does get one at the new ground and it's twice the size of those at Wembley! icon_thumb.gif

During the Richardson era I remember been given a flyer and an announcement that people could "buy in" towards the construction of the Fox statue outside Newmarket. In return you would be invited as a VIP to the unveiling and have your name listed on the bottom of the statue or something similar. Was this just a Richardson fundraiser thing or is it still being promoted? I think they were looking for something like £500 each to contribute.

Nothing to do with Ted and its just been put on ice, IF we ever get started IT will be on the cards.


Lets hope we can honour this Man and stuff that "rigged" vote for the Wembley statue.

It was not rigged ! Wakefield fans are just totally paranoid about everything, do we not consider that the likes of Murphy played for clubs with more supporters than Wakefield and Offiah played for one of the biggest clubs in the World and again with far more supporters than us ?

I do think Neil Fox should have been on there, as should Murphy, and you have to put one from the greatest Club team in living memory, the Wembley Wigan side, they have proved without any shadow of a doubt that they were the greatest team British RL history.

I also think Sean Long should have been on the list, his LT Trophy wins (Wembley or not) should have cemented his place too !

I wouldn't of thought it would of been rigged but lets just put up two player fox and Boston due to the greater support I would expect Boston to win
