    They Couldn’t afford a leg of a statue with the current fundraising total but I certainly see the logic in commemorating his time here in whatever means we can afford.

    A ballon D’or multiple winner is something we should be proud to be associated with, as he was with his time with us.

    I hope we can find something more fitting than renaming the iron bar after him

    It struggles understanding the difference between thinking and knowing.

    I went to every home game from the 1-6 loss to Arsenal until he left. He mostly played right or central midfield so that explains his low ratio of goals with us.

    I thought he was a good energetic player (not as good as Heath of course) but it was a complete shock when he went straight into the Liverpool team as a striker and immediately started banging in goals at the top level. How did we not spot he was a striker!

    He had a fantastic career and I am proud that his career and first 120 games (pretty good for a 20 year old) started at Scunthorpe. It’s a fantastic story and so I do support our club honouring him with whatever can be raised.

    Not having that!

    I used to see him every morning when I was cycling to JL VI Form Col along Ashby Road. I think he was in digs somewhere off Rochdale Road and he would jog to the OSG where he would then run up and down the steps of the cantilever stand until the rest of the team turned up.

    He trained harder and longer than anyone else so to say he never did a day’s hard graft is doing him a disservice.
