Devey wouldn't be far off either.

Careful LouzieO.

If you cannot turn your lovely sounding copper plate idea in to reality over night, you will have sit on the dunking chair !

I prefer brass myself. Or maybe bronze .

1890s is too late to be classed as "our early era". ;-)

He'd definitely be another of the stars of the club's opening decades though along with Spencer, Cowan, Athersmith and I've probably forgotten one or two.

I've mentioned on occasions in the past that I would like the North Stand renamed the Ramsay-Rinder Stand.

I think Coca-Cola Stand or Bet365 Stand is more likely!

Brilliant managers, secretaries and villa luminaries are different from the romantic story of the beginnings of the club. Their achievements are a matter of record and I agree should be celebrated.

For that reason they should be separated. Maybe something that incorporates 3 lists for three centuries of achievement.

I want the lamp and some recognition of the beginning as well!
b23, are you really going for a chair? Not my first image I must say, more goalposts , spinning coin or centre circle if you're asking.

Thought copper would wear into green!

Sadly Lou, we only have two centuries of achievement.

Legends, one and all.

Can't wait for the unveiling of Nigel Reo-Coker's long-awaited five-point contribution to the Birmingham Walk of Stars.

Slight tangent but I've always thought Rinder deserves more recognition than he gets.

I'd have him as the all-time number two behind Ramsay.

I didn't realise till now that Ramsay won more FA Cups than any other manager and is second only to Ferguson in terms of league titles. Good trivia question for "new" football fans of other clubs.
