Here's a list
of all the players, managers and chairmen who have been
immortalised by having a statue or bust made of them, or
a stand or suite named after them. I will list them by
the club where they can be found. All people are club
legendary players (or ex-players turned managers), unless
otherwise stated. I have excluded memorials for
disasters.
More
information can be found by clicking the underlined
names.
Please E-mail me with any from your
club, and I'll add it to the page
