The FA have had one done and have put it in the football museum.

There may be a bit of bronze left over from the one of TS 😂

There's was one supposed to be at the NYS,of Arthur not Tony !

Titled "Sheff United legend" who only played 3 times for them

"Blades Icon"?

And then they mention he was the "understudy" to William "Fatty" Foulke, who actually was a Blades icon.

Journalism is so bad now.

Typical sheffield nicking everything of ours that makes them look out of the picture.

If he was an 'icon' to them, why didn't they offer him professional terms at the time?

As for the statue, there is a 16ft statue of him at the FA's national football centre in Burton on Trent.I wonder how much that cost to commission and build? Are there any plans for RUFC to replicate such a statue outside the NYS?
