Well deserved. The club might not exist without him and it shouldn't have even taken this long.

Brilliant statue.
Well deserved. The club might not exist without him and it shouldn't have even taken this long.
To me it even raises the value and the gesture. I know it's an extreme, but City creating those statue-ish thingies of people who are still in the shower post-match is so cringey. I'm sure they're planning one for Haaland as we speak.
Agree with everything else you said though.

Yeah City's statues are awful and it reeks of them desperately trying to look like they've got history.
That's a lovely gesture by the club. A fitting tribute to a truly great man. Nice to see we can still be classy even when the future direction of the club is still up in the air.
Seconded

Great family even if a couple of the grandkids are city fans.

Yes, about time. Played 200 games for West Brom., and won 15 Welsh caps, also as Manager of Wales took them through to the 1958 World Cup Finals for the first time and this was the reason he was not with the team when the plane crashed.
His roles and influence at the club cannot be underestimated in the forging the success of the club both before and after Munich. These were Assistant Manager, ( Actual manager for the 1958/59 season )., First Team Coach, Reserve Team Manager and Full Time Scout. He, Busby and Walter Crickmer laid the foundations that this club is built on.
