JACK Walker, Barbara Castle, Lord Patel and Carl Fogarty are all featured on a new piece of art unveiled today at Blackburn Railway Station but just as many of the town's famous faces are missing.

The project has already come under attack and former world snooker ace Dennis Taylor is among those asking why so many faces were left off.

We asked the people of Blackburn if they were happy with the selection of famous faces and if not, who would they have chosen?

Andrew Collier, Argyle Street, Blackburn, thinks that Blackburn Rovers' Premiership triumph in 1995 should be recognised. He said: "I'd have chosen Kenny Dalglish before Alan Shearer. Kenny won the title for Blackburn Rovers, not just Alan Shearer."

Jean Stanley, a chef from Pleckgate Road, said: "How about the local artist, John Chapman. It would be nice to have him on the wall because a lot of people like his work and get a lot of pleasure out of it."

Michelle McCLure, a support assistant of Griffin Street was happy with the selection. She said: "I think they have made the right choice. Asking the people of Blackburn would have made no difference because the same people would have been chosen."

Luke Patel, self-employed, of Eldon Road, Blackburn had an unusual suggestion. He said: "They should have me on the mural. I'm never away from this station, I am here every single day."

John Perry, a bingo caller from Duke Street, Great Harwood, thought that Jack Walker merited his own installation. He said: "I would just have Jack Walker on the wall. His contribution to Blackburn was immense. Not just football but through his factory."

May Yeadon, a pensioner from Kingsway, Lower Darwen, said: "It is a good choice. I'm not into sports of any kind, so I'm glad there are no footballers on the wall."

Sara Walsh, an attendant at Waves Water Fun Centre in Selborne Street, Blackburn, wanted the train service improved, rather than the station. She said: "They should concentrate on getting their trains on time before thinking about a mural. I was stuck in Preston for one and a half hours yesterday." FAMOUS names who are missing from the mural:

KENNY DALGLISH: The former Celtic and Liverpool legend guided Blackburn Rovers to the Premiership title in 1995 -- first league title at Ewood Park for 81 years.
