The Legends Wall at AMEX

[Lady Whistledown]

Of that list I wouldn't have Dean Wilkins either. One free kick and several years of wafting delicately around the midfield, making a few gentle "tackles"? How he got his free kick reputation I will never know, as the Ipswich game aside, I barely remember him scoring one.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

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......

I don't care if he's an irritating TV presence or if he supports his home town team, for a lot of Albion fans he was quite simply the greatest player this club has ever had, therefore his inclusion is a no brainer. £900,000 for an Albion player in the early 1980s equates to a gigantic amount in today's market, and even at Liverpool he's ranked up there with Hansen as a true great.

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

Nonsense.

This. And he scored the greatest goal I've ever seen an Albion player score.

Still a bit of a knob-end when it comes to Brighton nowadays though.

He was the front page of the final Withdean programme so that isn't correct. As has already been said, it's just 'indicative artwork shown only'.
We shall have to wait and see who the legends are.

 

[Giraffe]

It's going to look great though

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Where's Johnny Crumplin?

 

[Napper]

Stevie Gritt should be on there as well

 

[Thunder Bolt]

As it is banners that are on this wall of legends, it may be possible that it will change every now and again.

 

[APACHE]

Anyone whos saids Lawernson should not be an Albion Legend is either not old enough to have seen him play or knows nothing about football.

Nonsense! It has everything to do with his shocking attitude towards us. A casual observer would think he had never played for us. Nothing positive and can only bang on about Liverpool and Preston. If you are that forgiving perhaps Mr Murray ought to be included?

 

[APACHE]

Murry is not a Legend, 1 decent season, Lawernson onthe other hand stood out in every season he played for us and I can only think that you are too young to have seen him play. It's what he did on the pitch for the Albion that makes him a Legend.

good post,

 

[Seagull on the wing]

A Max Wall at the Emex?...

 

[BUTTERBALL]

If that's the final line up without Zamora, it's a joke.

 

[Fef]

No it isn't. If you've read the postings above, and looked at the plan itself, it states that 'Indicative artwork shown only'.

Amazing.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Phew. Only looked at the first post.

I'd like to see OGH on there too.

 

[black & white seagull]

If it's 'indicative artwork only', I hope to Christ they delete the apostrophe from 1970's - or any other decade for that matter.

(Perhaps this post belongs in the grammar thread...)
