Bronze Statue at Falmer - Who?

[Giraffe]

Assuming we only had one, which person would you like to see.

Poll to follow.

BTW assumes statue would be of the time they were with the club, not present day e.g. Ward in the late seventies

 

[Mellotron]

It's got to be Dick Knight really, hasn't it? I can't think of anyone else more appropriate.

 

[blockhseagull]

Kanchelskis ?

 

[Muzzman]

Argus Fred

 

[drew]

Charlie Webb. Served the club longer than anyone else and scored the goal that effectively crowned us champions of England.

Perhaps the others could be on a walk of fame or something similar.

Personally for me the iconic image of Peter Ward in the seventies would be my choice. I think it represents the best era of the club, so far...

 

[Mendoza]

Move THE Goldstone from Hove Park to Falmer

 

[NF9]

Basil Brush.

 

[Raphael Meade]

mark lawrenson? what, for being a MASSIVE twat?! hahah...

cracking idea from mendoza there though! that would be bloody perfect, innit?

And I completely disagree. He was a great, great player. But no-one, but no-one did more to save this club - you wouldn't have a Falmer to be talking about if it wasn't for the bloke whose efforts your many recent posts seek maybe to diminish. It HAS to be DK.

But just as equally (arguably, don't start me! we wouldn't have a Falmer without Tony Bloom)

And arguably without Martin Perry, Paul Samrah, Lord B, all of the fans......where does it end. We can't have a statue of everybody!!

Personally I was looking at on the basis of what would look the best. Peter Ward in the prime of his life celebrating a goal would be a fitting sight I believe, far more than an old man (and I don't mean that nastily, just the way it is).

Mickey Mouse?

We wouldn't have Brighton without DK?

 

[severnside gull]

the man who brought us home
(as opposed to the man who bought us a home)

 

[Stoo82]

Mickey Mouse?

Bugger off

Rubbish. He was a player, doing a job, brilliantly, whether one fancies him in his youth more than one does DK or not. And it isn't to demean the efforts of everyone else involved to say that DK was pre-eminent amongst those who came to the club's rescue when it was needed most. End of.

If one likes the "look" of younger players than older genuine heroes so much, why not have Bobby Zamora or Danny Cullip or Graham Moseley or Teddy Maybank or Alan Biley or Perry Digweed or Kerry Mayo or Jake Robinson or Giles Stille or Ian Chapman...(I could go on).

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

Can we have a statue of me?

 

[NF9]

Can we have a statue of me?

Of course we can!

Surely we should build a 35ft bronze version of Steve Ovett's head, making this one unstealable. Or a giant sack of his heads, as no one likes to get something everyone's got one of.
