I know it's mentioned in another thread but this is news to me and I thought it deserved a thread of it's own.

What do people think of those chosen. Paul Rogers is the only one that stands out as a little odd for me.

 

[Brighton M]

I'm no expert on planning consent, but surely that's just a rough draft?

Can't believe they wouldn't include Bobby Z

 

[Giraffe]

Actually I'm sure you're right. Clearly BZ will be on there or will he......

I had a work placement in the commercial department last year and they took every opportunity to stick Paul's face on things so this could just be another wind-up But then the work he has done for the club since retiring has been exceptional and may merit a place on the wall in that?

 

[West Upper Seagull]

What about Gary Stevens ? cup final goalscorer too !

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

On there is

Dean Wilkins
Paul Rogers
Johnny Byrne
Brian Horton
Mark Lawrenson
Peter Ward
Tony Towner
Peter O'Sullivan
Bert Murray
John Napier
Kit Napier
Norman Gall

Glen Wilson

Alber Longstaff

Pretty much in time order though

It would be to just agree the details of the size and the design of the posters, they would be able to make any changes to the name/player drawings they wanted.

 

[Martinf]

Is Garry Nelson one of them?

Edit: Oh. f***.

Not listed but then there are drawings of Foster and Case but they aren't listed so that above list is probably just demonstrating how it will look.

 

[Jimbo.GRFC]

I think Lawrenson should be a complete no-no. Completely dismissed us a few years back in favour of Preston in the FA Cup. That's his club, send them a poster as a goodwill gesture, after all we're not playing them this coming season. To me it's almost like we don't exist in his mind. Replace with Bobby Z or if space permits an obvious shout has to be Gary Hart & Kerry Mayo who sweated blood for this club during our dark times......

 

[Kazenga <3]

Might Zamora not be on there as he is still playing?

 

[eastlondonseagull]

That's only a draft, I'm sure they'll think again when putting it into practice.

 

[peterward]

Paul Rodgers was a good enough player and is doing a stirling job in the commercial department, but with the greatest respect to the man, he in not an albion legend.

they may not feature so highly in the skill stakes but both Gary Hart and FDM are well renowned by fans.

and non playing legends should include Mike Bamber, Alan Mullery, Dick Knight and Tony Bloom.

 

[Bigtomfu]

I think sadly it has more to do with Fulham retaining his imaging rights.

[quotes]

It's a JOKE. They even left off BZ to make it obvious!

 

[Washboard Didgets]

If you read the notes, it clearly states:

"Indicative artwork shown only"

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Bobby Smith. I know he was only with us for a short time (and he spent most of that time at the racecourse or in the bookies) but for those of us who were around in those days he was arguably our biggest signing ever.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

And there are no goalkeepers on that list.

Mark Beeney - without his sale to Leeds we wouldn't be here today

Brian Powney - arguably our best ever

Peter Grummitt - made the best save I have EVER seen, second only to Gordon Banks against Pele

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Michael Robinson? Gordon Smith?

I'll stop now.

 

[lighthouse]

The 2 players from the 'modern era' who should be there are BZ and OGH. But not until they have hung up their boots.

Otherwise not much wrong with the list provided.
