You do that one and I'll do the Chelsea semi final when we were in the Kop right in front of Gudjohnsson... still waiting for him to score...

That is what makes (GESET) unique it contains our Naughty antics, however
I always check that mates have no objections to article and often change names to offer anonymity where necessary.  Trips to Amsterdam are a classic example.

We will be using articles from RAWK, but we do need permission from OP's to use them.
If writers offer their posts, they will be included in first draft.

WOOLTONIAN:
There will come a time when we (The writers & all who help) will have to hold a discussion on what we would like to do with any funds raised. Obviously what we choose will be based on how much we achieve.
I have been doing some thinking on the matter and I am in conversation with several people.
I will obviously have to talk to the club at some point to make sure they agree with any proposal, but at this stage that is some way off.

Yesterday I approached TOM MURPHY (The man who made the Bill Shankly statue) and asked him for a 'ball park figure' to produce a likesize (8') Statue of Bob Paisley to stand alongside Bill.
Here is my request and his response.

Dear Tom
I am currently compiling a book with a view to generating enough money for a monument at Anfield.
Although at this stage I have no idea how much will be raised, I'm curious how much money would be needed for ;
A likesize statue of Bob Paisley to stand next to Bill,
or a bronze plaque to commemorate the 50th anniversary of our first ever European game.
I appreciate its like asking how long is a piece of string, but a ball park figure would do at this time.
 
many thanks

Dear Karl
It would cost in the region of 60k to make a statue of a similar size as the Shankly. The are other options such as a low relief  bronze plaques depicting his achievements or a bust .I know the is a lot of people that would like to see Bob Honered in this way .Fund raising is very hard.If you would like to phone me I can explain all the options.
Best wishes
Tom

To be honest I was gobsmacked at the figure of £60,000
I do not expect the book alone could achieve this figure, but surely this could be achieved by this and other possible events ie Auctions of memorabilia and sponsored events, run by this site and other LFC sites.

Before I contact others, I'd like to know YOUR feelings on this.
Would it not be a great achievement for Fans (like us) to succeed in raising a Statue to Bob ?

60k is much less than I would have thought - Time for the internet terrorists to engage!

My thoughts exactly.

Time to share link to every LFC website - facebook - twitter - et al
Get the word out to as many as possible, as I would have thought this target is well within our reach if all sites United behind the cause.
