Statues at LOI grounds

I realise I've excluded Shelbourne, but then Shelbourne fans have come to terms with the fact that they're the fifth club in Dublin.

Fingal are still bigger

I heard Shels had a statue of Dermot Keely built from solid steel and titanium, but then it crumbled in front of their eyes in the last minute..

A statue of Alec Ludzik could be fitting in Turners Cross.

I dunno would you put up a statue when someone is still alive? Maybe i'm wrong but thats what i would have thought. It would be a great tribute to any player who served a club well but you'd really want to get it right before it was put up .... and select a player who would please all fans (if he was that good then it would be easy to agree)

I always thought it was better to erect a statue to a living person. Great people should be commemorated when they are alive so they can see how much they are appreciated.

Ye have to agree I'd imagine costs would be quite high

According to this artice a life size statue of Olympic boxer Socks Byrne in Drogheda cost 30,000 euro. Obviously the money could be raised over a pretty long period, say 2 years.

Lifesize, €30k? Just as well he was only a lightweight...
