Beattie Statue Maquettes Now on Sale
Friday, 18th Dec 2020 06:00
A very limited number of replicas of the statue of Blues legend Kevin Beattie have gone on sale today on what would have been the England international’s 67th birthday.
The pandemic has meant that the unveiling of the statue has been put on hold until it is safe to do so in front of fans in May but 40 maquettes handmade by sculptor Sean Hedges-Quinn, who also produced the statues of Sir Alf Ramsey and Sir Bobby Robson, are being made available now.
Beattie, widely viewed as the club’s greatest ever player, died suddenly at the age of 64 in September 2018.
