Yeah Redzers plan sounds the best their are to many SRFC legends just to pick one would be unfair to the rest of them

I go to Watford FC every fortnight if possible and they have turned this exact issue into a nice little revenue stream, you can buy a wooden brick facade with the deceased supporters name on it and a message and it is put on the back wall of the stand where the supporter sat/stood and there is an area for names of people who served the club loyally. They have literally walls of them and they are very popular! So a golden brick for packie, mark etc and the rest to be purchased by fans.

I would disagree

Dixie Dean might have been the greatest player to ever play for Rovers but i dont think you could say he was Sligo Rovers greatest ever player, if you know what i mean.

I agree with Gustavo on this one. Dean was the greatest player(ie. his reputation etc.) for us alright, but he didn't stay around long enough to become a Rovers great.
