[Bellshill bhoy]

Just a wee remember tomorrow, Saturday is the unveiling of the statue, it’s at Bellshill cross at 1.30pm, it is expected that 1-2k people will turn out for it with quite a few famous ex players from both side of the divide coming, I’ve managed to obtain a VIP ticket, thanks to fellow noise member HD1460, I’m giving him a wee haun tomorrow installing the marble at the plinth in the morning
Will take plenty of pictures and post them later on

Glesga loves telling the world about famous sons...Why no a statue in George square for the first "British" Captain to lift the European cup?...

When the word legend is thrown about very loosely these days it's definitely not in this case well done to everyone involved I'd loved to have gotten over for the unveiling but I'll make a point of seeing it next time I'm over at paradise.
