Assuming the club commission a statue for Bert Trautmann (as they should), what should it look like? I've been going through old photos of him in action - there's a good one on the club site this morning, Trautmann punching away a ball at the old Highbury I think, so they should get the club's historians in on choosing a photo to copy into a statue. Not the one of him diving at Murphy's feet when he did his neck, though, let's not have him defined by that moment.

There used to be a great one in the museum, it still somewhere in the ground and seen on the tour. It wont be suitable for outdoors but a stone version of the same statue would be ideal for in the memorial garden, should also re-name the garden in his honour.

Top suggestion - a great tribute that would be appreciated by everyone.

Would one of the ends not be more appropriate for a keeper?
Could have Swift at one end and Bert at the other!

May I just remind you that it is the Marc Vivien Foe memorial garden created by the club after we moved in 2003 when Marc, cruelly taken from us, should have been starting every week in a blue shirt.
