Billy Sharp - Statue

[Pedro Verde]

Surely there should be a statue of the goalscoring legend in the car park

 

[Nade]

When he retires maybe

 

[Nade]

Why do we need a statue when the real thing is inside the stadium?

 

[Benny and the Blades]

Do we stand it next to the Keith Edwards one ?...…….

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

He's already on the backdrop to this site with luminaries such as Kurt Russell, Mike Heck, a young Cleveland Brown, Jack Lemmon and Foxy carrying a ball.

What more does he need?

Perhaps we can Dip the real thing in Bronze and just put it in random locations inside the 6 yard box. JCR can be employed to move him at half time. Chances are he'd still get 10 goals a season and JCR can claim assists

So long as the statue has him with no boots on, should always be shoes off in the car park.

 

[Worksop II]

Never scored for Wednesday so no ........

 

[Houston_Blade]

I think he should get a round of applause on his shirt number, a statue in the car park and 12 vestal virgins before every game. Any advances on this?

 

[Chief_Froley]

They’ll only be able do a bust because I've been reliably informed on here that his legs have gone.

 

[Rodders]

Nah, I prefer it with the Wednesday players there instead.

Looks like he had a bad hernia

Looks like he had a bad hernia

99 times out of 100 "groin injury" is a dogwhistle for the clap.

 

[drblade]

If there is going to be a statue for goalscoring then I think old Harry Johnson or even Woody should be first in line.

Tedious point, I know but thems the facts.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Rename the away stand from whatever sponsors name it currently has to the Sharp end

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Statues should be for the dead only.

Hernia/hornier, tomato/tomato.

Agree....might not be popular but having a statue of Billy Sharp is kind of tinpot.
He's a legend of the Championship and been a great ambassador for the club

but in the Premier League he's hardly done anything....so he's kind of similar to Keith Edwards.
Club legend yes but English football legend....no where near.

Regards players.....think we should only be having statues of regular internationals.
Once in a lifetime players and ideally players highly rated even by international standards, like a Tony Currie.

How the fuck do you overemphasise a hamstring

Hi,

Stegosaurus here.

Tony Currie only got 17 caps. That's 1 less than Carlton Palmer. That's 2 less than Danny Mills.

So, given his low number of caps--I don't see how people can say he was highly rated by international standards when Carlton Palmer and Danny Mills had a more illustrious England career.

I do think a statue could end up being a bit naff (so hard to get right) - but don’t agree that someone needs to be an English football legend, a premier league talent or a regular international to be a Club Legend.

It’s about what he means to the Club - and, in this case, what the Club means to him.

I think there were far less internationals being played at that time.

Jimmy Hagan got 16 caps during the war years and 1 afterwards.

Pretty sure none of the time would have swapped him for Danny Mills or Carlton Palmer and quite possibly Tony Currie!

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Is he signing for Barnsley FC?

 

[Overthehills]

I mean his legs aren't quite what the used to be ya right.... but i think its a bit harsh to call him a statue.

Yeah, that is fair comment.

I was just making the point that if our record appearance maker has a statue, then I think our record goal scorer should be second in line.

Although, I guess Derek Dooley also has one so....

I'm still campaigning for a statue of the fella to the left above my name. The most successful United player of all-time, captain, International and county cricketer.

 

[S64 Blade]

I'm not really in favour of this idea. He is probably my all-time favourite Blade, but I think it could be a bit naff to have one.

I agree, a bit like having an open top bus parade for finishing third in the third division.

The Dooley statue was a McCabe thing, not a popular demand thing.

I still think it should be moved into town (his eponymous road?) and SEB’s boy put up instead.
