Statue at the amex?

Dick Knight's not any sort of God but he was a bloke who stuffed a couple of million of his own fairly limited pounds into the club when no one else was coming forward and by ducking and diving and begging and scrounging kept the show on the road until the stadium permission was granted and Tony Bloom arrived to save the day so I guess some of us will find your attitude
unfathomably mean-spirited.

Dick did a great job but he was always the front man. His FD in business was the man who kept the plates spinning financially in the tough years at Gillingham and the Withdean, Bob Pinnock, the takeover investor oft forgotten.

But I would go for Wardy, at his high-stepping, audacious best, celebrating yet another goal.

As our nickname is Seagulls and, if you look up whilst they're 'off-loading', it's not pleasant, how about a replica of.........

The Eye Full Tower!

 

[Cheshire Cat]

We wouldn't be where we are without Archer and Bellotti, therefore.........

Just stick with the legends wall. Too many potential statue candidates and somebody somewhere will always be miffed at who got omitted.

Ward, Mullery, Bamber, Storer, Gritt, Reinelt, Zamora, Knight, Bloom, Calderon...

I could go on and that's just my lifetime.

Crumplin!

Lawro with his busted arm would look great

I agree with your praise of Bob Pinnock. As some might not know, he was a quietly-spoken longtime colleague of Dick's, a local man who stood alongside him as he built up his ad agency. He was at DK's shoulder when he took on the Albion and as finance director worked wonders in helping get the club through the horrendously difficult Gillingham and Withdean years. Dick was more than just a front man - if it hadn't been for his leadership and money-raising and ability to get good people aboard then history would have been different - but the tireless support and expertise of quiet men like Bob Pinnock shouldn't be forgotten.

So the hitman or the bonfire version?

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Has anyone yet offered the "save on bronze and have a life-size statue of Tony Bloom" witticism...?

 

[Fozzyboy]

Any plans for a statue in the future?
Has to be no other than peter ward

Doesn't sit quite right with me as he didn't play at the Amex

We could save even more by buying the now-discredited 'Jimmy Krankie' version of Southampton supremo Ted Bates and just replacing the head...

Strange shaping on Ronaldo's, not sure any of our legends could be so impressive
