Doesn't he already have his own brick or something - inscribed, gifted from the city, etc?  One has to wonder how much of a crowd is going to 'flock' to see him on another partly snowy, freezing cold weekday lunchtime?  At least he doesn't have to wield a shovel!

Thanks, patch.  :bravo:

Edited to add:
I knew he had been nominated for something like this - turns out it WAS this:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/south_yorkshire/4752245.stm
scroll to the bottom of the article for this:

Quote
The other Sheffield legends to be honoured in the hall of fame include: actor Sean Bean, lead singer of Pulp, Jarvis Cocker, Britain's first astronaut Helen Sharman, and former Olympian and chairman of the British bid for the 2012 Olympics, Lord Sebastian Coe. 


Took them long enough to make the plaque - the article is from 2006!

Sweet talk.  As opposed to two-by-four persuasion.  ROFL.

He has one on that wall already. That was the reason I was so surprised that he gets another one.

Maybe someone should warm him up when he stands there outside. So if you see one with a shovel it could be me but be sure the shovel isn't to plant a tree.  :naughty:

They're playing Middlebrough - it's going to be tough match.  They did well yesterday in their FA cup replay; won 3-2 (though Bunn is still a concern; he can't keep out a penalty kick to save his life.  Easily argue that one of their two points was undeserved because the ref called a handball that clearly wasn't . . . but the point was that they couldn't keep it out of the net).

As for the rest; of course the missus will be there - it's a photo op, innit? 

My question is whether or not he will dress nicely (I've always wondered what happened to that gorgeous dress coat he had a few years ago - gads he looked good in that) or appear in jeans, snowboots, and an oversized puffy jacket?  Maybe we'll get to see the bespoke shooting jacket he bought in Newcastle.

I know the snowboots and jacket are more practical, but a suit and dress coat would serve for a 20 minute ceremony . . . *wishful thinking* . . .

Yes Lighty but the cold weather gear reminds me of how HOT he looked in the beginning of National Treasure, he could dress like that and I'd be happy :fans:
