Lionesses give me a raaaaarrrrrwwwww!

Let's get a statue of Chloe Kelly on the Wembley way. I can't think of anyone who deserves it more.

Who is affected?
Every girl lacing up her boots on a rainy Sunday morning. Every fan who screamed themselves hoarse as Chloe Kelly tore off down Wembley in 2022, and again as she lit up the Euros in 2025. Every Lioness who’s carried the weight of a game built on uneven ground, where men’s legends get statues and women’s legends get… well, a passing mention on Twitter. The absence of Chloe on Wembley Way isn’t just about one player – it’s a missing piece of football history that tells every future player, “your moment might not be cast in bronze.”

 
What is at stake?
If nothing changes, the story of the Lionesses risks fading back into the shadows of “men’s football first.” The roar of millions of fans becomes a footnote instead of a foundation. But if we act, we carve their triumph into the very stones of Wembley Way. A statue of Chloe Kelly isn’t just a monument to a goal; it’s a marker that says women’s football is not a side story – it’s the story. It tells every fan walking that path that this is a shared pitch, and the legacy of the Lionesses belongs here, in full view.

 
Why is now the time to act?
Because we’re living in the afterglow of two Euros that changed the game forever. Because the Lionesses didn’t just bring football home – they kicked down the door of a century-old boys’ club and invited the whole country in. If we wait, the moment risks slipping into “remember when.” Acting now means seizing the energy, the roar, the tears, and immortalising them in bronze while they still echo through Wembley Way. This isn’t just a statue; it’s a line in football’s history book, and right now the page is blank.
