A fitting tribute to the man, gotta give Ashley some credit because I never thought this would happen with him at the club. As has been said before, Bobby would have loved todays game, this team is reminding me more and more of the one that Bobby assembled here.

 

Statue looks great though, in the perfect place too!

That is a lovely statue, such a fitting tribute to the great man :smitten: :smitten:

 

Wonderful stuff.

 

Gutted I couldn't be at the unveiling but I can't wait to see it when I'm back up.

Was really excited and a little nervous to see the statue would have been awful if it didn't capture him but it's absolutely perfect. A fitting tribute to a great man, beautiful work.

Great location as well, the way he's gazing outward is brilliant.

 

Is it based on any particular photo or situation?

 

Yeah it's perfect location, like he's watching over the fans coming into the ground.

I think the statue is in a great location and it is a great pose BUT I don't think it really looks like him

 

Hmm, at first sight I thought the face was a bit 'off', especially when compared to this which sits in the players entrance and is made by the same sculptor.

But, I think that is just down to the fact it's brand new and shiny so everything stands out more, plus the fact your looking up at it rather than straight at it. It looks absolutely brilliant when seen from a little further back.
