Bill Nicholson statue petition!

Storts · « **on:** May 21, 2007, 12:20:19 PM »

Isn't it about time we had a statue at White Hart Lane to commemorate one of the real legends of English football, Bill Nicholson?

If any of you don’t know what he did for the club, he gave 68 years service to Tottenham Hotspurs, as a player from 1937, and as manager from 1958 to 1974. He led Spurs to the first English league and cup double of the modern era (1961), and the first European trophy by a British club in 1963. In all he won us the league once (the 1961 double), the FA cup 3 times, the league cup two times, the European Cup-Winners’ Cup (1963) and The UEFA Cup (1973).

There’s a petition doing the rounds at the moment, I urge all true Lillywhites to sign it, and please pass this on to other fans and forums.

http://www.petitiononline.com/sga77827/petition.html

The petition reads:

To: Daniel Levy (Tottenham Chairman)

This is a petition for the Spurs board to have a statue of the legendary Spurs manager Bill Nicholson built just outside or within White Hart Lane, with a small plaque underneath the statue with one of his famous quotes in.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Signed it! Maybe they will think about doing this once the new WHL is built?

I was thinking the very same thing.

I can just see his statue being built with the redevelopment

Signed for sure, the man is a legend.

I was lucky enough to walk past him once, he was just walking on his own to a Spurs match, not with anyone or anything, just meeting all the fans as they walk past and shook his hand.

I agree and in fact if we are to have a new stadium then I think that one of stands should be named after the great man. I also met him at the League Cup final in 1999 as you say just walking in on his own what a reception he got from the yid army.

About to go sign it for whatever good it will do as I vaguely recall the club has once issued a statement to the effect he has been recognised with a street being named in his honour.

Though a statue or stand would be more fitting IMO.

I used to see Sir Bill walk to the ground past the shelf to the game in his long managers coat, always had time for the fans who showed him graeat respect. Lets do the right thing and honour our greatest manager. enough said.
