The Legends line up at the Stadium and Testimonial matches

[Hoops Seagull]

I was wondering who at the club was given the decision to choose the legends that are mentioned and the Amex. To me it appears that we have mainly players that were at the Withdean Stadium. I would say that Zamora and Cullip were definate legends but there were legends before Withdean which I think the club have chosen to forget.
I can name a few Jimmy Case Dean Wilkins John Byrne Ian Chapman, Tommy Cook, John Crumplin, Bobby Farrell, Steve Foster, Norman Gall, Eric Gill, Roy Jennings, Mark Lawrenson, Kit Napier, Peter O'Sullivan, Brian Powney, Wardy, Charlie Webb, Glen and Joe Wilson.
Surely the club would just need to look at the players that people included in the Heroes and Winners raffle!
People have also been saying that Kuipers should have a testimonial match which is right. I have a question for the club Ian Chapman has been owed a testimomial since 1996 are the club ever going to give a player and coach that showed loyalty to this club one?

I will pass on your comments, but I think the artists who were commissioned to do their various pieces around the entire stadium, were given free reign, and then final artwork was then signed off by the club - with regard to the supporters' bar, the theme in there is very much the final few years at the Goldstone and the Withdean years - so artwork on the walls will also feature the various pictures of the FFA campaign etc, alongside John Baine's poem etc.

The players you mention feature in different areas of the stadium - for example the huge mural of Peter Ward as you enter the west stand reception, plus there are photos lining the corridors of others.
