STATUES & GRANDSTANDS honouring RL players. Know of any

[Quigs]

Do you know of any RL Legends having a statue?
Are some of the Grandstands at your clubs ground named after legends?
Parks, Roads, or anything honouring an old league Player..

Please let me know........

I know that the King has his statue at Lang Park, and there is a statue honouring the french league great Puig Aubert, at the Carcassone ground.

We have the Clive Churchill Stand at the SCG. I know there are heaps more around Australia and the UK..

Parramatta have a few named after past players.. (what are they)

I am also interested in hearing about "bush" ground stands etc named in honour of the greats.

The following have been included in the Sydney Cricket Ground Walk of Honour.
Arthur Beetson - OAM,
Dave Brown,
Clive Churchill - AM,
Ron Coote,
Bob Fulton - AM,
Reg Gasnier - AM,
Keith Holman - MBE,
Graeme Langlands - MBE,
Bob McCarthy - MBE,
Johnny Raper - MBE,
Ken Thornett,
Dick Thornett,

I read in one of the UK forums that there is a statue of Brian Bevan at Warrington.
and one of Willie Horne in Craven Park. (more info sought)

I read also they have the Clive Sullivan Way in Hull.

Can anyone help me as I'd like to compile a list and use some of the information in my website...

You can post your answer / reply in here or if you like you can email me, or email me from my website.... which ever suites you .

Thanks and Cheers
Quigs.

Latchem Robinson at Leichhardt.

Dick Thornett, Brett Kenny, Peter Sterling and Michael Cronin have stands and bars named after them at Parra Stadium.


Just away from the topic for a moment. The new one at WIN in Wollongong surely has to be renamed Langlands Stand. Northen Stand sounds crap.

Thanks Southern,

All are noted and now included. Does Stirlo and Kenny have Bars or Stands named in their honour. ???

Sterlo and Kenny have Hill's named after them I think.

But now that there are seats there they aren't called hills anymore, it's the Sterling/Kenny concorse or somthing, a Parra fan would have to give the exact name.

Hi Quiqs

Found the players for you.

It is on the 4BC radio website.

http://www.4bc.com.au/sites/4bc/Default.asp?Page=214

Not many people would think to look there. :lol:

It is only up to year 2003 & it lists both QLD & NSW players.

Way to many players to post.

Names are about 2/3 of the way down the page.

Link also gives you the winners & MOTM etc.

That would be Warilla, correct?

 

[skeepe]

Shark Park has a "walk of legends" at their ground. Not sure who's on it though. I only happened to notice it by accident as I walked over it, if I didn't look down I wouldn't have even known it was there.
