Rovers' Mount Rushmore

[LeftWinger]

Just a bit of fun in dark times.

Who would make it onto Rovers' 'Mount Rushmore'?

A few potential suggestions:

Jack Walker

Colin Hendry

Simon Garner

Derek Fazackerley

Bob Crompton

Alan Shearer

Brad Friedel

Tugay

Ronnie Clayton

Bryan Douglas

David Dunn

Tony Parkes

I think it's difficult to pick four.

Jack Walker, Tony Parkes, Ronnie Clayton, Bryan Douglas.

To be carved into the Dingles side of Pendle Hill.

That's the four I went for to be fair.

If it's players only then Ronnie, Duggie, Faz, Garner for me i think.

A lot will say Shearer but he's a Geordie and he'd be on theirs, others maybe Hendry and i'm a big fan of his but he bailed twice when it suited unlike the 4 mentioned.

Non players it would be John Lewis, Jack Walker and maybe Bill Fox and John Williams.

Managers ? Well certainly Kenny and Souness for me plus possibly Don Mackay but not sure about the other.

Bob Crompton, the 'greatest' Rover of them all would need to take pride of place on such a monument.

I was wondering when that work was going to begin as they did predict many years ago that if they became a Prem club ever the Turd would need to be twice as big...

I wrote this for 4000 Holes in 2002 and the council actually swallowed it hook line and sinker.

Personally those are the 4 greats. 

Aside from those which other 4 would you have?

Would like to see this man's statue outside Ewood...well overdue.

[RevidgeBlue]

Impossible to pick just 4 I'd say.

Couldn't really differentiate between Crompton, Douglas, Clayton, Faz, Parkes, Garner, Shearer, Jack, Dalglish.

Edit:

playing wise if you had to pick just 4, guess it would be Crompton, Clayton, Douglas, Shearer.

Steve Kean, Balaji Rao and his side boob, Bradley Orr, Suhail Pasha.

Agree with the thing about Hendry bailing twice. Not a Mount Rushmore figure for me.

[rigger]

Garner would really piss the Ding-dongs off.

Cannot comment on players I’ve never seen play so combination of greatest players and “great Rovers”  in my lifetime:

Clayton, Douglas, Garner, Shearer

Got to be all the ‘Mr Blackburn Rovers’ for me:

Bob Crompton, Fred Pentland, Jack Walker, Tony Parkes.

I had to put Pentland in for variety and the fact I can’t split Dougie and Ronnie.

[broadsword]

How about Kendall, Moran, McKenzie and McNamee?

 

Just fancied something random

[danger19_80]

Shearer, Jansen, Tugay, Pedersen

Funnily enough, detailed plans of a Mount Rushmore style sculpture were suggested and shared with the club as part of the 150th anniversary plans but ultimately didn't go anywhere.

 

Based on the historical angle and focusing on the birth of the club (and our subsequent impact on the sport), 'Founding Fathers' was suggested as a working title, as was the inclusion of John Lewis, Arthur Constantine, Bob Crompton and Fergus Suter.

 

I can't comment as to whether this plan will still come to fruition, but I very much doubt it.
