Johnny Haynes statue.

After looking on the Fulham official message board I have seen many fans calling for our £20,000 prize money to be used to provide a Johnny Haynes statue.

 

This will keep Fulham ledgend Johnny in the hearts of every Fulham fan after his tragic death 3 years ago.

"Johnny Haynes, as one of the finest players of his era, was of constant interest to other football clubs, which contributed to the pressure which led to the demise of the

£20-per-week maximum wage applied to the game until 1961. Fulham chairman Tommy Trinder had boasted that Haynes was worth £100 a week, not expecting that the

£20 pay cap (equivalent to £1200 in 2005) would be abolished. When it was removed, Trinder paid up without complaint to make Haynes the first footballer to earn £100

per week. The Riversiders famously turned down an offer of £80,000 from AC Millan for "The Maestro" that would have been over double the record for a transfer at the time

and would have made Haynes the best paid player in the world" - Source - wikkipedia.
