4 years ago today I was interviewed by @BelTel about my campaign to honour my hero Pat Jennings with a statue. 4 years later with the help of many other great people it’s actually in Newry! A fantastic statue by the brilliant Andy Edwards. A dream come true! #patjennings

The official unveiling of Pat Jennings statue will go ahead tomorrow as planned. Pat became unwell at the Spurs match last night but wants to assure everyone he is ok to continue. After some rest today Pat says he’s looking forward to the event in his home city of Newry. πŸ™
