Adams has a shout, gave us a future, rather than fighting for survival.

I would say there are only three people in contention and only one of them is on the list (late addition as well!).
Peter Ward, absolute icon for the team
Tommy Cook. All time top scorer (excluding mickey mouse war time games)
Charlie Webb.
The OP might not have been around for the Ward era but that's no excuse for not knowing the history of your club. For the record, I never saw Cook play or Webb manage!!

My vote would be for Tony Bloom and Dick Knight united, arm in arm, gleefully waving a bag containing the cup final money.
Alternatively, as finance is a bit tight with Covid about, perhaps we should just go for one on a season long loan from Fulham?

The bloke who makes the 5pm announcements , I'd really like to see what he looks like on the radio .
Charlie Webb all day long. He scored the goal that won us our only trophy but served the club for just short of 40 years. I can't think of anyone who gets close to topping that

Surely Tommy Cook should be on that list 
209 appearances
114 League goals
8 hat tricks
Capped by England
Became Manager
Plus, 460 first class matches for Sussex, scoring over 20,000 runs. Tragically passing at just 49 years old.
Legend.
Surely one of the greatest Sussex sportman ever deserves a shout at a statue?

I would definitely vote for a player/manager rather than Knight or Bloom.
I think those of us of a certain age understandably tend towards overrating Wardy’s achievements and standing in the history of the club.
As a cricket fan I like Tommy Cook.
But Charlie Webb seems to have the strongest claim.

Lol...make a case for Peter Wardstill I guess you are quite young so you probably never saw him
I'm 46 and I never saw him play either! (but I'll take the 'quite young' comment all day long
)For me, I would vote for a Bobby statue if I had to make a choice on a player statue

Dick Tight as without him there would not have been a club for the others on the list to join.

I'm loving the fan ideas. We need to work on design. Firstly:
In original "Goldstone Rap" vintage with proper curly hair and a finger in the ear? Or today's follically challenged version?
Or
Arm in arm, one clutching a can of cider, the other some proper Real Ale and about to launch in to "I Think We're Alone Now"?

Pronounced "I sink veer alone now (lone now, lone now)", for reasons only known to the Revenue Songster himself. Genius.

He is still alive?! If yes, does he still go? Any away game to a far-flung outpost back in the day he'd be there, looking like he'd slept in a hedge overnight.
