Pat Jennings, 78, looks in fine form as Tottenham legend unveils his statue back in Northern Ireland, less than 48 hours on from release from hospital after he collapsed at Spurs vs Chelsea

Former Tottenham goalkeeper, Pat Jennings, was photographed on Wednesday unveiling a statue of himself in Northern Ireland, just days after the 78-year-old was rushed to hospital having collapsed on Monday.

Mail Sport reported that the Northern Ireland legend, who was in attendance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to watch Spurs take on Chelsea, had taken ill ahead of kick off.

On Wednesday, the Northern Ireland national football team posted a picture of Jennings pointing at the effigy of himself, writing 'One word: Legend. Pat Jennings unveils his statue in Newry this afternoon.'

Jennings looked in fine form during the ceremony as he admired the bronze effigy of him that had been erected on Kildare Street, in the city of Newry.
