Why are there only 218 signatures? Ian Hislop's brilliant War Memorial programme on Channel 4, taught me about this pioneer and many other role models. More programmes like this please! Perhaps he could be placed on the roof, with the Tottenham statue on the other side? Room for two more statues? (I Trust it is a four sided Stadium)! Why can't it be called White Hart Lane, when it is more or less in the same place? "Naming Rights Stadium" seriously? Danny Blanchflower would not think that is very stylish.....

Long overdue. The man is a legend and deserves his place at the new ground.

Walter Tull was a pioneer in every sense of the word. HOW is there not a statue of him already at the lane?? Make it happen Spurs.
