I think we should freeze him, like Walt Disney

the man is without a doubt a true legend for us...

BUT, we named a stand after the man. What do you mean by he deserves more recognition?? In what way?

More recognition than a Stand being named after him. It's been suggested that a Statue as well as Stand named after him might be appropriate.

Would rather save are money.

Building a statue could cost a bit?

It won't be the Club paying for it I wouldn't think - the money would have to be raised I guess.

I appreciate what you're saying DS, King needs to be remembered at Tranmere for years to come. The dwindling gates at Prenton Park are made up of more younger fans every game, so a bigger proportion of the crowd won't have been as fortunate as those of us who had the privilege of watching Kingy's men play attacking, entertaining, successful football.

The man is a legend and deserves to be honoured. I think renaming the main stand would be a fitting tribute (the Kop won't be renamed as it has potential for Sponsorship). Statue's cost big money and I think that most of our 5000 die hards can't afford to shell out hundreds to contirbute towards a statue.

If something is going to be done, it needs to be done soon as I have it good authority from people working at the club that John is unfortunately suffering from alzheimers / dimentia. It would be nice if he could be introduced to the crowd if something was to be unveiled.

I'd heard a similar story about Kingy not so long ago sadly.

Anyone remember his speech when they naned the Borough Road Stand after him and the t*ts in the Kop booed when he made mention and thanks to Peter Johnson?

Disgrace that I thought!
