An independent panel should have decided the personalities on the statue based on achievements in the game. But nah, let's have a popular vote and clubs with 10k+ fan bases influence that vote, that won't be controversial will it!
Ha ha! Well played!

This was my vague recollection too. I tried looking online, but couldn't find anything. I think they were published in league express. Keep repeating the vote until you get the answer you want. It'll never catch on.

At times like this I like to think I can take my own club specs off & be impartial. It’s difficult to judge without seeing players play week in week out (& im a realist) so you have to weigh up a few factors such as; stats & the opinions of fans, those who cheered for the player & those who didn’t and whilst I’ve never heard anyone bag Hardisty, he doesn’t get the same attention in the media nor from any set of fans as Neil Fox does - he’s in a league of his own stats wise too. Phrases like world class & a true great are bandied about far too easily in my opinion & there are very few who deserve the tag immortal, but from what I’ve read & heard; Neil Fox does & a statue at Wembley is the least of the honours the sport should bestow on him.
Sorry Jinj; I could have just said that whilst Hardisty is a Cas immortal, he’s probably not a RL one!
