Raploch Billy Bremner statue update | OneFootball

The Scottish Football Supporters Association, in partnership with Leeds United Supporters Groups, Raploch Community Council, University of Stirling, Stirling Community Enterprise, Tartan Army Magazine and Stirling Council have announced Kenny Hunter as the chosen artist for a statue honouring the legendary Billy Bremner in the town he grew up.

Bremner, the club’s iconic captain during the Don Revie era and beyond, is to be commemorated with a sculpture on Weir Street in Raploch, mirroring the famous statue outside Elland Road.

Renowned Scottish artist Hunter has been commissioned for the project, which will follow the unveiling of a plaque in Raploch by Bremner’s former teammate and fellow legendary figure Eddie Gray.

Alexander Gibb, SFSA Project Manager, said: “Leeds and Stirling are two great cities in which Billy Bremner is revered. While he has been immortalised in Leeds, it is about time Bremner is further recognised north of the border in his hometown.

“It is an honour to be part of the project commemorating the man voted as ‘Scotland’s Greatest Ever Captain’.”
