4 years ago today I was interviewed by @BelTel about my campaign to honour my hero Pat Jennings with a statue.
4 years later with the help of many other great people it’s actually in Newry!
A fantastic statue by the brilliant Andy Edwards.
A dream come true!

Fantastic to see @friendsofbigpat organising a fantastic event to honour the greatest goalkeeper ever.
Pat is also a great example to anyone both on & off the pitch.
Great to have the one and only Paddy Reilly sing The Fields of Athenry for #PatJennings and a room for guests last night @CanalCourtHotel #Amazing
