| Joint Statement by BST and the Tangerine Knights regarding the Morty Statue 22:59 - Apr 28 with 2218 views | BFCSupportersTrust |
The Tangerine Knights, Blackpool Supporters Trust and football fans throughout the country call on Blackpool Football Club to immediately return the 'Morty' statue to its rightful place after it's removal earlier this week. The supporters are well aware that 'the company' that runs Blackpool Football club is ethically and morally impoverished. However, to remove the statue of someone so beloved by the fans of the club that they themselves helped pay for it, is beyond contempt. Stan Mortensen is a hero to tens of thousands, most of whom never saw him play, he is an icon of all that is good about BFC and the community to which it belongs.
When the statue was unveiled in 2005, his wife Jean said this, "Of all the honours that Stan won in football, he would think this was top of the league. He was so very proud of playing for Blackpool and loved everything about the town. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him when the club or town came knocking. For him to be remembered in a statue, he would think it was the creme de la creme. A massive thank-you has to go to the generous people of Blackpool, who have dug deep to raise money for this. Stan would have been really proud."
We therefore demand, that the current owners of 'the company' return our statue to its rightful place in time for the 62nd anniversary of the clubs 1953 FA Cup final win by Saturday 2nd May, to the fans, community and town of which we are all very proud. [Post edited 28 Apr 2015 22:59]
