I often think JJB gets overlooked in these types of threads.Sinfield,Burrow and McGuire often take the glory of the last 15 years but JJB has been a corner stone of the pack for all that time and still doing the business.is he going around again next year? Last man standing

Apparently Leeds are planning a statue of Falloon, Kirke and Achurch outside the entrances to the new South Stand toilets.

Always said that the John Holmes statue should have been situated near the club shop walking into the north and Carnegie Stand. Then a golden generation statue of McGuire, Burrow, JJB, Sinfield, Peacock should be made (like the Wembley CC one) at the South Stand.

Ryan's is going behind one of the away turnstiles on Kirkstall Lane, blocking one of them and were going to move it to a different one every home game, just so you can never be sure when your going to run into him.

Phil Holmes said that it would be behind the south stand and looking toward Burley where he was born and grew up so I would think this is at the request of Johns family

Does Lewis Jones deserve a statue or at the very least some sort of recognition?
We need a " Leeds Hall of Fame" to recognise all the greats who have graced our team over its entire existence.

As per the Kieron Cunningham one at Saints, you should never get one for anyone currently associated with club!

the Club has started a Hall of fame and the first four inductee's were John Holmes , Keith McLlellan ,Lewis Jones and David Ward . There is the Lewis Jones Suite in the Carnegie Stand and the club has stated there will be a physical Hall of fame built into the new development whish I'm sure will also be the club museum .

There was a small Hall Of Fame, and lots and lots of lovely photos of past players and teams in the supporters club. Perhaps all of that will see the light of day again when the new South Stand is completed.
