SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

In tonights YEP mentions a plan for a statue of Don Revie - my only concern that if you view it from a certain angle it looks like he's saying "Do that again and you'll get a bunch of fives"! Just concerned that visiting fans may get the wrong idea:-)

Could be worse - Ted Bates Southampton

A few others of interestBob Stokoe - Sunderland (corrected - thanks drapesy)    

Brian Clough

That Ted Bates one is hilarious - look at his hands!! I believe its been melted down.

I'm in total agreement yes the council should get a good bronze statue of Don Revie , with his arm stretched out towards Billy Bremner outside Eland Road.

Lets hope its better than the small bronze wall mounted plaque by the main gates at ER -Billy and Don look like a couple of goblins! I could have done better...

The Billy Bremner statue looks a bit weird too since it was painted - or rather, partly painted: just the clothes and not the skin.
