It's only a question of money and where to spend it.
He already has a blue plaque, a road and a bar. It's not like everyone has forgotten him. |

Why don't we just rename the whole city as Neil Fox to commemorate a man who isn't even dead yet just to appease a handful of fans. He had a road and a bar already named after him, but keep pretending he's some forgotten hero |

Statue of the great man necessary, and thinking of anything else is absurd.

If you really believe that just "a handful" of fans would support the project then I'm clearly out of touch and therefore give in to your superior knowledge of the guys status.  |

If you walked through Wakefield City centre and asked 100 random people if they knew who he was, I'd be surprised if more than 5 people know.

The same would happen if you now asked 100 people who the Beatles were. Another generation.

Yes, I've spoken with him several times, and the impression I get is that he would be incredibly embarrassed at even the suggestion of having a statue of himself made. |

I'm a massive fan of Neil Fox and am lucky enough to say I talk to him often.
Although he's always really proud of his achievements I have to agree with Egg and say a single statue might be too much.
If we did it, I think a statue of multiple players lifting Turner up with the cup would be better ........ but right now, there are loads of things to do before a statue.

I have to agree that there are more important things going on at the moment .
I just thought you were being a tad disrespectful but perhaps it was unintentional.
I saw Neil in his heyday and at some point I would like to see a statue of him at his rugby home, Belle Vue. |

What about a bust or more accurately a number of busts
Jonny Parkin, Herbert Goodfellow, Fred Smith, Neil Fox, Derek Turner, Harold Poynton, Ian Brooke
Not as grand as a statue, people like Neil might be more comfortable with that and, if done properly, it’d look amazing in the entrance of the new stand
