| I would willingly contribute to a Neil Fox statue wherever it is in Wakefield, but I lack such organizational skills, I'm Afraid. I know of one person who posts on here from time to time and, indeed, has carried out extra curricular tasks on behalf of Wakefield Trinity previously.............How busy are you, vasty?  |

To busy I’m afraid. Also I’m to young, Fox is a legend to me but I never saw him play so I have no real emotions.
I’d contribute but in truth this one is for you older fans to sort it. He’s your hero, mines Nigel Bell.
Just a thought but what about a freeze (if that’s how it’s spelt). Hey say a dozen legends on it and then you may get some fund raising traction, maybe even a doner.
Over to you oldies

His real hero is Jonty Parkin.

| Quote: PopTart "That bit I agree with. If a statue was ever going to be done it should be at Belle Vue. The place where he is most famous.
Same as Billy Bremner at Elland Road and Kieren Cunningham at St Helens Ground.
Man City have a good one if their heroes.
I'm thinking John Holmes is at Headingley.'"
but sadly if the Shudds game is anything to go by very few people would see the statue. I would go for the city centre location. He's a Freeman of Wakefield, nof Belle Vue and from a civic pride point of view a central siting would be better. |

Daft as it sounds, if every one had contributed £1 at the Huddersfield game we would have had £3166 towards a statue.

That pound is for signing Nigel Wright.  |

I think I read somewhere that the John Holmes statue at Headingley cost around £100k and going further back Freddie Trueman's and Dickie Bird's being slightly less as they were a few years back. |

Looks like it's a job for Sir Rodney then?

There was a minute when I thought the same, but in light of what has happened over the last few years I think WT and RMW should keep a reasonable distance, but there again if he REALLY WANTS to pay for a statue of Neil. Knowing Rodney he would be more likely to finance a statue of himself though.
