Had an interesting conversation earlier on about the honouring of former players; obviously I think it's great and absolutely fitting that Bomber and Jeff Astle are both now immortalised outside the ground, and we're soon to see the Three Degrees commemorated in the town centre too, but are there other legends being missed out in the process, and how do we decide who should be officially honoured at the ground?
Does Ronnie Allen deserve some kind of permanent memorial?
If the Halfords were to be redone and then renamed, who should it be named after? Or should it just remain the West Stand?
Are there other old heroes you'd want to see honoured, or is it best being reserved for those exceptional servants of the club?
