    Re: The Peter Whittingham Stand

    Do any clubs have a statue and a stand named after one person?

    Whittingham:

    - 7th in all time appearances
    (- 6th in all time league appearances)
    - 9th in all time top goal-scorers
    (- 3rd in all time league goal-scorers)

    However, it's not quite enough to change name of Grandstand, the Ninian already has a name which leaves Canton and Grange-end/Family Stand. I'd prefer a statue if they're looking at any stand other than Family Stand.

    I think that a statue would be a more fitting tribute to Whittingham, although i wont complain if it's a stand. Fans may have to dig into their pockets though, if a statue was to be built.

    Much like you, I’m not too bothered about whether it’s a statue or a stand, but the former should have a degree of permanence to it that the latter, perhaps, does not.

    In modern times he’s number 1 on both categories. He was also a midfielder, to be number 3 in all time league scorers is utterly insane. And that’s before we get into the quality of goals he scored.

    If I had my way we would name the stadium after him.
