Man ure have a statue of Matt Busby,the scousers have one of Bill Shankley,even forest have got one of Cloughie(RIP) When will we be graced with a fitting tribute to Waddo ? Maybe we should sell Cresswell,that should just about make enough money to buy the plinth for our late great manager to stand on.

Tony Waddington was my first manager (and a Crewe lad).
For me his is the first fuckin statue that we should have because without him we wouldnt know our other legends.
The man was Mr Stoke City

TW was born in Manchester and played for Man Utd then Crewe before ww2. He then managed Crewe for a few years after leaving us in 1977.

i unfortunately never saw the stoke side of the 70's and i have had to envy while my dad tells me about the "arsenal" style in which Waddo played. he's the man who won us our only major trophy and i think richh68 is right in saying we need a better tribute than a dining room but what that is, i dont know. any suggestions?

I remember walking past a man limping badly on the way to a home game against Shrewsbury. As I glanced at him I realised it was the great Waddo. I briefly said hello and thanked him for all he'd done and he graciously thanked me for the good wishes.
It was sickening that the club hadn't arranged a car to pick him up at the station.
