Knight was a one club legend but do we venerate him with a statue? I am not sure about that one.
I don't see why it is hard to get behind Jimmy Dickinson just because he was a previous generation. You can read about the history of the club and his role in it to see why he is worthy of a statue. One that is long overdue.
Knight may the second most famous long servant of the club , but he is a long way second to Dickinson in stature, and a long way short of being statue material.
Could always vote him Voice of the year?
