Gooner in peace guys.
Some players rise to greatness that rise above club loyalties. Say Greaves for you Henry for us. You have a truly great man in your history that we should all recognise, Walter Tull. Do you think it would be an idea for your supporters & all others irrespective of loyalties get together & push for some recognition, at the least a Plaque, but more important a statue to this great man & player when your new stadium is built.

As far as I know there's an exhibition been run which The Tottenham Trust is involved in & I think there's a play in the pipeline about his life. I don't know if I agree about a statue because if you give one ex-player a statue then who's to say 50 other players should have one also, I think if your going to have a statue then it should be a manager, having a load of statues just demeans it but I'm sure something will be in the Tottenham museum.
Nice thoughtful post sagalout & appreciated

Well said sagalout.Walter Tull is a true hero in every sense of the word.I live in the Folkestone area where Walter was born.In the town there is a plaque in his honour in the local garden of remembrance.The sports pavilion at his old primary school is also named after him.I think it would be a fitting tribute to this amazing man if he could be honoured in some way at our new stadium.

I agree but as said, we couldn't have statues of all . Nothing to stop us having plaques though .
