Fred Keenor, Phil Dwyer and Peter Whittingham
Please make it happen; it will make a lot of people very happy and will be worthy of the stature those men hold in the annuls of Cardiff City's history

It's great that so many want this to happen Chris. Many clubs have several statues and to have two more for Joe and Whitts would be wholly appropriate and then we would have three amazing permanent tributes to true City greats.
Fred's statue cost £85K and took 2 years to install (2012) following fundraising, incliding donations from the WG and FAW, the supporters trust ran the fundraising campaign and did a good job. I'm sure another funding campaign would be well supported. It would be an amazing sight to see the statues of the three outside our three home stands. Would love this to happen, it would be the perfect tribute.

I agree Chris. Joe’s statue could be the pose on the cover of his book.

Great idea, Andrew

With anything like this, the first step is to make sure the families are comfortable about any arrangements. It is heart breaking for them for many years and sensitivity is extremely important. I won't go into details but that is why sometimes things seem low key to the fans when these tragic events happen.
I can definitely get the message across to the club and board though that this is somethging fans are thinking about.
