Stevo. Scorer of winning try last time we won the world cup.

what about the 4 try wembley legend that is leroy rivett,will this feat ever be beaten?

Dave Valentine, captained Great Britain to victory in the first ever world cup in 1954

When Gerry Helme scored the winning try #justsaying

huzaar! it must be bright popping out from behind those cherry & white glasses?

p!llock

I've got an elderly mother who is quite seriously ill in hospital, that was the reason I didn't reply to your immature post.

I never hide.

read my post again, it was a reflection that you were actually able to pick a player other than a wigan player. no dig or malicious intent. no inference that you were hiding! last night when you didn't respond i think the whole thing was tongue in cheek.

i hope your mother is ok/recovers but what the has that got to do with a debate on a rugby forum.

you did however reply to my immature post by nominating a non wigan player as requested!

callling me a p!llock does however show you to be rather hypocritical for an old man who should know better!

now i think you need to clam down!



p.s. i truly hope your mother is ok.

hope your mothers is ok

I'm sticking with Clive Sullivan, but I'd also be OK with Hanley

Anyone as long as they have never played for wigan past or present.

Surprised nobody has gone for Offiah, he'd get my vote.

What about making another statue of Cunningham? You can't get any more anti-Wigan than him.

I suppose kids wont vandalise it. They'd be frightened if they got too close. It'd be like putting a picture of Olive from On The Buses on the matlepiece at home

SLIM, sincere apologies for last night. I think you know it's not my way to get into petty name calling, I detest it. It shows lack of respect and in many ways a lack of understanding.

It has been a very stressful week, but that shouldn't be reason for my outburst.

However I still think it should be Shaun Edwards

lol @ shaun edwards, however on a serious note, i can be a wind up merchant at times but i really hope you mum's ok.
on a rugby note i think who ever you pick it's going to be a mine field. i'm now begining to think a generic rugby league player made of bronze with no identifiable features would be the only solution, then every fan could only speculate who they thought it was or which team they played for! otherwise it may end up with some epic graffiti attacks, a fate that would never befall it's football counterpart.

the 9 fingered octogenarian in my family has asked me to suggest, kevin iro, with a fist belonging to someone else *not named* attached to his face.

a bit modern art you know.

a first? a fist maybe

yep i suggested dessie tewatting iro! good call!

That's a pretty sad indictment of RL fans really; a shame as it's probably true. Why vandalise a statue to celebrate the game as a whole simply because of club bias (I'm sure it was at least one of these threads where there were people saying they would too).

People might not vandalise a statue of Bobby Moore but I wonder if football fans would be respectful of a statue of a modern day player, if they made statues of Ashley Cole or Rooney etc.

I actually suspect the comparison to football is wrong, as I agree, a statue of a modern football player would be vandalised. Whereas Moore is a sign on the only national team triumph, something they can all get behind; something we don't have the same way in RL.

I strongly doubt that a statue of an RL player outside Wembley would be vandalised. For a start, there's only one really one opportunity to do so, which is Challenge Cup Final day. Much more likely is that it would, on that day, be adorned with a hat or scarf in a rival team's colours.

I agree.
It's a society thing. Someone born like me in the 1940's have too much respect for people and property so a statue celebrating that era would have been o.k. . Society has gone soft on the vandals. No discipline at home or in schools, and we're paying the price.
