Yes there are lots of former greats but
most of those had an easier path and at the end of the day were just decent footballers and not much else.
Whereas to get to that level being an adopted, gay, black kid growing up in 70s Norfolk is so much more. It would be a deserved tribute and also would recognise the club's role contribution.
