That's a fabulous article, thanks. It coincided with a speck of dust getting in my eyes. Amazing how something like that can still command attention................................and admiration. 👍

Really nice article.
"When North End redeveloped their Deepdale stadium in the 1990s it was clear that a stand would be named after him.

There was also a desire for a statue to be built in his honour."

Does anyone know more about how the statue came to be commissioned? How did "the desire for a statue" gain real traction and get funded? Any other stories about it?
