Another one advocating a statue here, but statues are for people who have passed away. So hopefully no statue for Sir Dick for many years yet!

Wow, great video, not sure about 25 years how about Mr Albion!
We have been incredibly lucky having Dick followed by Tony, let’s hope we have the next in line watching in the stands on match days.

Harry Wilson's tackle said:

Many years ago James Black (invented propranolol and cimetidine) and John Vane (worked out how aspirin works) were employed at Wellcome in Beckenham. Both were Nobel prizewinners. Didn't get along. Wiki says Black resigned but I happen to know that a management consultant team was brought in and decided the best thing would be to sack the pair of them.

Luckily we didn't go that route.

Who could have sacked Bloom?

Nobody.

But vote of no confidence by the board would have been *awkward*

(This is not worth a conversation. My point was that having the big beasts reconcile is better than a never-ending feud).

We always discuss who is a legend and who isn’t. Surely no discussion required here.

Without people like Dick there would be no club as we know it.

There should be an 'I like Dick' badge.

Shouldn't there?

Wonderful stuff. A very emotional watch.
Makes you realise how special the club is and how lucky we are to have had the positive influence of two such incredible people as Dick Knight and Tony Bloom.
The right men at the right time. Thank you Dick... you did indeed save the Albion!

Finally got round to watching that - very nicely done and hopefully Dick and Tony can get on again. Great work by @Lenny Rider and @Henfield One to get the old boy there.
