In this evocative photograph, the moment of unveiling of the long-awaited John Atyeo statue is captured for eternity. The statue, a tribute to the legendary Bristol City footballer, stands proudly in the Bristol Sport bar and Grill at Ashton Gate Stadium. The atmosphere is electric, as the excited crowd of supporters gather around to witness the special moment. John Atyeo, known as "Atyeo," was a Bristol City icon, having made over 400 appearances for the club between 1958 and 1973. He is fondly remembered for his skill, determination, and leadership on the pitch, as well as his unwavering commitment to the team. The statue, which was commissioned by the Bristol City Supporters Club and Trust, is a fitting tribute to the man who gave so much to the club. The lifelike model, expertly crafted by sculptor Andy Edwards, captures Atyeo's distinctive pose and the intensity in his gaze, reminding us of his passion for the game. The unveiling took place during the 2015-2016 season, in a first team game against Fulham in the Sky Bet Championship. The occasion was a celebration of Atyeo's legacy and his enduring place in the hearts of the Bristol City fans. The statue now stands as a permanent reminder of the club's rich history and the indelible impact of one of its greatest players. This photograph, taken by Dougie Allward, captures the excitement and emotion of the moment, as the fans gather around to pay their respects to a true legend of the game. It is a testament to the enduring power of football to bring people together and create lasting memories.
