Leeds United King Billy Bremmer statue unveiled for first time at Elland Road and fans could get it in their back garden

LUFC Leeds United Tony Clark Lucy Marshall

A seven foot statue of Billy Bremer has been showcased to fans at Leeds United Football Club for the first time today - and LUFC supporters could get it in their back garden.

The statue has been created by Tony Clark, who owns Clark Sculptures, and will be raffled off to fans to raise money for people struggling with the rising cost of living. He made the Billy statue this year to also honour the football club's 50th anniversary since winning the FA Cup on May 6.

The huge sculpture honours one of LUFC's most iconic players 'King Billy' who scored and put Leeds through to their second successive FA Cup Final in 1973. Leeds United fans will be now be given the opportunity to win the life size statue of club legend.
