Dearest
@Becs can you please, please, please ask them about a statue for the club's top goal scorer and local lad Bobby Gurney.
It's utterly shameful how the club AND the local council too have appeared to have completely forgotten about him, his legacy at the club and the fact he still remains a club record holder decades after his final game for Sunderland. Everton have one, Bolton have one, Boro too and the mags have two ffs! Even though Milburn scored more goals.
The Legends Way thing is commendable but heavily weighted to players in our
recent past while almost completely ignoring the clubs history and past achievements prior to 73.
As has been mentioned by others it's not representative enough of the club's historical icons and should have been a great promenade highlighting how important Sunderland was from it's beginnings right up to today as you move towards the stadium. Most people on the final list, while maybe more well known to modern era fans, barely warrant a page in the club's history books compared to some of the REAL legends who were missed.
