What a weird feeling for him coming to a stadium with another club with a big picture of him on the wall! Would have been better with a picture of Rory as he won't return for another Premiership team at least! He probably had a bigger influence over a period of time too!

They thought of that but his ears wouldnt fit on.

Rory with his throw was iconic, IMHO the club slipped up having the image of Faye on the stadium and that's recognising his contribution to the club during his time with us.

Maybe they'll change it to a massive picture of pulis shouting "GOOOOOARN JON!"

How stupid in the first place to have any active footballer on the building, i mean he was good for us but with all the players we have had over the years he was the best option?
Another example of the club off the field being ran like a League 1 side.

Shawcross would be a good replacement

Never understood why Faye was put up there in the first place.
A good player that contributed to the development of Stoke City but hardly a legend.
Don't know how much it cost, but it needs replacing.

Legend seems to get thrown around a lot when you have a good season at Stoke. He was soon put in his place by Whelan, hard man my arse.

How about having the same image of Stan (where Abdys picture is) & re-naming the stand after Stan?

He may not actually play against us, after all he was promoted with West Ham but didn't play against us at The Brit as he'd been sold to Hull prior to the 2012/13 season. He may also not play if he continues training in flip flops.

I think his image was erected due to him being the club captain at the time. of course this turned out to be short sighted from the club.....but what do you expect from the commercial side, they've always been inept!
They should look to replace it though, maybe run a fans poll to decide the legend that goes up.
Greenhoff Banks Smith Hudson Ritchie Stein

Abdy was a beast. A truly immense centre half. I have no problem with his image staying on the ground.
Cult hero.

You can see what the club was trying to do - one image celebrating the past, the other the present. However they then should budget to have to update things every two or three years.
Changing to Shawcross is the obvious way to go but there is no guarantee that he won't be off to a bigger club in a few years.

I still think Rory or Ric should have been up there instead of Faye. Faye had a fantastic first season for us though!

I still remember when big hard Rooney absolutely shit himself over big Abdy squaring up to him at the Brit some years back. Epic.

The tried to put a picture of Danny Collins up but due to his position sense it kept being found over the Audi dealership.
