Glad the rail seating's finished, but what about the top of Jimmy's head? And we need half a crest back.

Having 500 sweaty backsides sat on an image of his face every home game has never been a fitting tribute to him. A mural on the side of the stand would have been better and this statue is better still.

Fabulous statue, best I've ever seen of a player, every bit as good as Bobby Moore's outside Wembly.

They need to do something with the background behind it though, a black statue doesn't show up very well against the dark grey background.

Maybe they can paint the background royal blue or white or both

Knew he played many times for England, but didn't realise he played 6 games for England in World Cup Finals.

But he was and is our most decorated footballer and I would never take that away from him

Was a pretty decent cricketer as well. The old man played in a couple of matches with him. On one occasion Jimmy took a rising fast ball full on the chest without flinching. #nails

Saw him play many times. Can’t stress enough his abilities as a player and ambassador for the club on and off the pitch. And he never seemed to foul. A true gent. Glad to hear the statue has been well received. Still my favourite ever Pompey player and one to be proud of.

Agree with all that the statue is great and the background is naf. Noticed in the unveiling that Knightsie is hobbling rather badly. Hope it's temporary as he's not very old, well, only 62.

He mentioned in the conversation that his mate Knighsie had just had one done.

Had a look at the statue today. Sensational.
THAT is how you do a football statue. Credit to the club, the south coast and the history of the game. |
