Hooray - this saga seems to have been going for as long as Banks' playing career at Stoke.

"But now Stoke have filed a planning application to site the life-size statue outside the Britannia and, assuming permission is granted shortly by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, the club will look to erect it as soon as possible."
May aswell hand it to leicester then as this city council couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery

The Labour council are gone, they're being replaced with a coalition of Conservatives/UKIP/City Independents

There is a plinth being built at the top of 'higgys hill' / 'Gordon's bank', I can't rember the name we have it all those years ago.
Anyway it's the hill behind the scoreboard

This. It was supposed to be outside of the main entrance but its being placed on the roundabout as a homage to his positional sense.

Not going to lie, an unusual place to put it. It would of been nice to see it on the bank itself. It looks like its in the middle of the path?
As long as its looked after like thankfully the Sir Stan one is. Good to add some more character round the place though

The Sentinel mentioned it was going to be placed on a traffic island, so I assumed they meant by the roundabout by Gordon's Bank.

Is it going to have the mini statue of the save from Pele added to the plinth? I'm sure that was the original idea.

dave Kitson, and rightly so, all be it way too late. He's probably commissioned one for himself. Possibly with an epic quote detailing how he wants to be seen as just a footballer, not a ginger hero.
