All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.

I agree, but he wasn't a "1st" just a damn good football player and better LEADER!

I'm not a big fan of statues, but am cool with honoring all 4. Personally I'd go back to only having the WW2 fallen in the stadium.
