Bell, Lee and Summerbee statue | Unveiled (pg19)

[ProofMCFC]

Always thought we should have a mosaic wall. All the legends from Meredith to De Bruyne and everyone in between. It would look mint, especially at night lit up with all the colours.

I think we should build a proper City museum on site. We have a long history and it would be nice for the young uns to be able to go in and physically see it, old shirts, old footballs, Berts story, the 60s/70s, story of our beginning, etc.

Didn't we have one behind the shop? Upper floor

There is one, upstairs in the shop at the start of the stadium tour

Keep all these statues coming for me. Maybe we are going for a City version of the Terracotta army! CTID

Any news on when this is being completed?

I think it’s a fitting tribute to three absolute legends. I wouldn’t mind it if they named the north stand after Summerbee as well

They have the Charlton, best,law statue at the swamp. Think in a few years( hope it’s many) that Franny the king and buzzer get cast in bronze with gold highlights.

An Anthony, Greenwood and Giggs collage would be more suited at the Swamp.

A “Webb Riley and Courtney“ sculpture has been commissioned

They mentioned on Granada reports tonight ( Monday ) the Francis Lee statue

“Skip” deserves one, as does Trautmann imo too.

I’ve never been a fan of statues for this reason. You have to draw the line and it’s always a very harsh line on those who miss out.

Bert already has one.

Bert already has one.

Colin and Bert's are in the West Reception

Bert already has one.

Colin and Bert's are in the West Reception foya area ! But one of Lee, Bell.and Summerbee is under construction at the moment!

 

[kurious oranj]

Pretty sure Bert's is made with cardboard.

Can they add Mercer and Alison to it, please.

I think it's right we acknowledge the great players of times gone by and Bell, Lee and Summerbee are widely considered as our three but I always feel this is more a case of providing a rival symmetry to Best, Law and Charlton. Surely Book deserves something. Captained us to all of that success as a player and further success as a manager. Hard to know where to draw the line on these things really!

We've had a hell of a lot of good players. You've got Kompany, Silva and Aguero honoured with statues. De Bruyne will need to be recognised. Pep will too. Then you've got Gundo who captained us to the treble! Going to need to name some stands in the future I think!

I'm not sure the North Stand being called the Book End will get many votes though!

Not recycled bratwurst packaging?

Stereotyping? Moi?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Can they add Mercer and Alison to it, please.

And then we all want one of Bert being helped off Wembers by Dave Ewing and Bill Leivers! That could stand like the Colossus of Rhodes on the corner where we had the B of the Bang!

I agree it’s hard to know where to draw the line. However I’d say United don’t have ownership over statues and what they’ve done is irrelevant. We’re talking about 3 of arguably our best ever players, who’s names have past down generations.

A statue of all 3 of them is the most fitting tribute in my opinion. I think they are more deserving than most.

I’d name the north stand the Summerbee stand as well.

It couldn't be battered bettered

 

[remember arthur mann]

Hope City have kept Andy Scott on a retainer. After completing the BLS statue, he could design one for miner's in memory of those who lost their lives down Bradford pit.
