Let's be honest, we haven't had any players who are worthy of a statue. We've had very few great players, even fewer at the peak of their career and no one has ever lifted a major trophy for us. Surely to be 'legendary' enough to warrant a statue, it would need to be a recognisable figure in the world of football outside of CPFC.

We should just have two shiny slapheads of Lombardo and Aj. Then we can all queue up and spam them for good luck before a game.


GENIUS !!!!!!

Well generally the subject of such a thing needs to be someone who has done something for the game nationally and is dead. Jimmy is very much alive! Maybe the best thing to do is have a statue of an eagle with brass plaques attached with the honoured inscribed there upon.

Thanks mate. I have to say, Jim Cannon was before my time but as far as I can make out the argument for him is that he played for us for a long time. I don't think that says great things about our club if that's the greatest achievement we can look for. Compare that to other clubs;

Billy Wright
Tom Finney
Bobby Moore
Best/Law/Charlton
Alex Ferguson
Peter Osgood
Brian Clough
Billy Wright
Bobby Robson
Alf Ramsey
Stanley Matthews
Gordon Banks
Thierry Henry
Billy Bremner
Don Revie
Dixie Dean
Bill Shankly
Jock Stein
Jackie Milburn
Emlyn Hughes
Nat Lofthouse

If we had to do this, I would say it should be Wright & Bright, who were at least iconic in a small way - but I don't think we should do it for the sake of it.
