    I get that he opposed this when alive, I guess his family would be the best people to ask.

    I think if I saved the club and someone asked me if I wanted a statue of me when I died, I would say no, because it sounds obscene and self congratulatory if you agree with the idea, he was a very down to earth and humble man in my dealings with him.

    But in reality, would I like a statute outside of Oakwell of me for my family to see and keep me connected to Oakwell forever?

    Course I feckin would!

    Nicely put CT, he came in for a lot of flak from certain sections of our supporters when ultimately he stepped up when no one else did. I think that some form of memorial would be fitting, its how to propose it, what it should be, where it should be, and how it would be funded ?

    Sentimental crap. How about a seat for the Robledo brothers? Hendrie? Blanchflower? The entire1912 team? Ernest Dennis? Angus Seed? The current owners? Anybody else? Loads. Just think. And before you say I'm being disrespectful have another think and you'll realize I'm not.

    I think the corner stand is named after him, isn't it? The middle tier of it is certainly called Patrick's Lounge.

    He has a lounge named in his honour as does Norman Rimmington.
    They both have plaques on the memorial wall outside the superstore too.

    Oh, I totally understand that when you start something like this yo could go on forever. The gist of my seated statue idea though was because I'd seen both comment at one time or another that some of the happiest days of their lives were sat in the West Stand, watching the Reds, so I thought it was a nice, respectful gesture. Sentimental? Well, there isn't anything wrong with sentiment.

    I think the club did a great job with the East Stand decor last season, featuring a lot of the past greats.

    The point is with Patrick, is he saved our club from oblivion. You can't say that about any of the aforementioned, great players that they all were.

    His appointment of Ridsdale left me more than a little worried. in the short term he did bridge a gap thought till Pat Cryne took over.

    I heard allegedly Cryne couldn't stand John Dennis and could have stepped in sooner but wanted us on the cheap.

    We were never going to fold Cryne just didn't want to line John Dennis' pockets.

    Peter Doyle purchased the club albeit via some steep mortgages becuase no one else was there at the time.

    Cryne with Ridsdale as his front man brought it at a later date from doyle.
