Over the last 30 years.... Which Player(s) "deserve" a statue?

[NoMushroom]

Thinking about our current statues outside of the Riverside - is there anyone who could join those ranks?

Juninho?

Southgate lifting the Cup?

Steve Gibson?

Maccarone Diving Header?

If you force me to pick one, it would have to be Mogga (I think he just about makes it in to the last 30 years).
No player has done more for the club since him.

But I'm not in favour of any more statues.

 

[TeaCider]

Southgate surely does.
Captained the team to our only ever major trophy and a European cup final, we've never got bigger than that.

I think the club definitely needs someone from that period commemorating.

Not a big fan of statues. but Southgate probably if i had to choose one.
You definitely couldn't have Maccarone...an iconic moment but certainly not an iconic player.

And statues of diving headers are tricky anyway.

The Maccarone suggestion was tongue-in-cheek haha

Not 30 years but CAMSELL our record goal scorer that will never ever be beaten deserves one it was scandalous he was left out in the first place.

get that statue built.

scored a club record 325 league goals in 419 games for Middlesbrough, and 18 goals in 9 appearances for England.

Bruce Rioch surely deserves a statue?

Rather than statues I'd quite like some big mural images going round the outside of the ground. Southgate, Juninho, Mowbray all mentioned and very deserving. Might be nice to have something dedicated to Ugo.

Mike Riley

Agreed. I'd favour some sort wall of fame commemorating many great players from history.

Good idea

none of 'em - and its always wrong to produce a statue whilst the person is still alive.


Gareth deserves one in time - but we chased him down the road - so its pointless.

Curtis Fleming.

Seeing as he had his right arm raised permanently calling for offside you'd never know the difference.

Wow well that’s certainly one view of history... I think he was lucky to last as long as he did.

Carling Cup hero Michael Ricketts

Malcolm Christie, without his goal our dream wouldn't have started

Agree that Southgates statue needs to wait until after his second stint managing Boro through the latter half of the 2020s. He's too modest and would probably feel embarrassed parading our 2030 champions league trophy past a statue of himself.
