Who better than Sid Abram, the first try scorer at Wembley in 1929? He's buried in Hindley Cemetery.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Wembley Statue
Shaun Edwards achieved the most there so probably him. I'd like to see Martin Offiah though. Him in full flight was the most recognizeable sight in RL. Find a still of him him rounding Alan Tait in 1994 and work from that.

Re: Wembley Statue
Thanks for that, Josie - I'm a bit old for this computer lark 
I thought of Sid Abram because of his link with 1st final at Wembley. If we're talking wingers in full flight, it would have to be Billy Boston and/or Tom Van Vollenhoven well ahead of Martin Offiah. See, I told you I was old!

Re: Wembley Statue

Preston NE have a good water feature bronze with TOm Finney IIRC. An image from the watersplash final could be used similarly (not Don Fox).
However, Edwards re wins etc. I hate reading people say oh he represents RU too now. So what and why should we be ashamed/apologetic

Re: Wembley Statue
Saw a good suggesiton on another site, some sort of statue of a ball, and it could somehow incorporate the name of every Lance Todd winner on it, and future years names could also be added. Thought that was a good idea, but personally would rather see one of Edwards and Offiah celebrating in Wigan shirts for every visitor to see that WE are rugby league!
