Northern Ireland legend Pat Jennings said he "never dreamed" his home city of Newry would put up a statue in his honour, but that he is humbled and delighted that it is being worked on.
A local group, Friends of Big Pat, held a gala ball on Sunday night at the Canal Court Hotel in Newry to pay tribute to the former NI, Arsenal and Spurs goalkeeper.
"I can't imagine it being anywhere else other than in my hometown," he told Belfast Live.
