a statue of Neil outside our own new stadium would be good!

Or within the Trinity Walk shopping centre, which would share it with the whole City rather than just visitors to the ground.

What happened there, when I last saw this thread there was nothing remotely offensive on it - just curious.

PM me and I'll tell you,vasty; you wouldn't believe it, otherwise my response will probably be "cleaned up" also. (For "cleaned up" read censored.

Because its a thread about Neil Fox celebrating his birthday. Not a thread about how much you like Queen Victoria.

Why not just leave it to people who want to say nice things about Neil?

Pop Tart. Do you ever stop to think before you censor things? I've got the utmost admiration of Neil Fox and have done for 66 years, and if you look at my post you will see that I said he was my childhood hero and still is.
What apparently upset you and that Wollo character was that I stated that it would be nice to replace that statue of Victoria, which if you're honest is an outdated eyesore, with one of the Big Fella and place that of Victoria back in Thornes Park where it used to be (probably before your time).
Now be honest, what is not nice there about Neil? On the contrary, actually. Some of the comments and insults that i see on here seem to pass your censorship screen. You really amaze me at times, PT. Please do not "clean this up", thus satisfying vasty's inquisitive mind. If you should be criticising anyone it should be that Wollo chap for accusing me of "dragging things into the gutter."

Once bumped into him and Ian Brooke at the Holmfield arms having food. I asked for both their autographs for my dad Who I was with. The pair we’re just so debonair, literally top of their games wayyy before I was born, and should be celebrated as such by fans of all ages.

They appear to be joined at the hip, Pat. I've seen them at many eateries around town over the years out with their respective wives. I't's good to see two world class players still firmly bonding after sixty-odd years. Long may they go on.

Unreal really. I concur, it’s really great to see.
