Bronze statue unveiled at Anfield to celebrate Bob Paisley legacy

A bronze statue was unveiled at Anfield today to celebrate the life and legacy of Liverpool FC's most successful manager, Bob Paisley.

The sculpture was commissioned and donated by the club’s main sponsor, Standard Chartered, in celebration of its 10-year relationship with the Reds, and in honour of its recent work educating younger supporters on Paisley’s greatness through state-of-the-art technology.

The statue immortalises one of the most iconic images of Paisley, carrying the injured Emlyn Hughes off the pitch.

Standing at eight feet tall, the tribute has been designed to sit at the right height to enable supporters to take their picture with the statue while visiting Paisley Square.
