We paid a huge tribute to the man when he died, had a flag made, he has his own tournament and has his name sung on a regular basis thats more than enough.
He doesnt need a statue in my opinion, it may sound harsh and ungrateful (which isnt intended) but all he did was buy the club with his wealth then sadly passed away. Whereas Ted Bates gave his life to the club, and deserves every part of his statue.
