Great moment in Bristol City FC history captured in this print as the legendary statue of John Atyeo is unveiled at the redeveloped Ashton Gate. The statue, which was funded by the fans through a fundraising campaign, was unveiled on the 5th of November, 2016, during the Sky Bet Championship match between Bristol City and Brighton & Hove Albion. John Atyeo, a Bristol City icon, is considered one of the greatest players in the club's history. He made his debut for the Robins in 1958 and went on to make over 400 appearances for the club, scoring an impressive 167 goals. Atyeo's contribution to the team was instrumental in their promotion to the First Division in 1959 and their FA Cup final appearance in 1958. The unveiling ceremony was attended by many fans, who were eager to witness the tribute to their beloved hero. Marina Dolman, a former player and a good friend of Atyeo, assisted in the unveiling process. The statue, which is located at the entrance of the stadium, is a fitting tribute to a man who gave so much to the club. The redeveloped Ashton Gate stadium, which was opened in 2014, has undergone significant transformation, and the addition of Atyeo's statue is a testament to the club's rich history and tradition. The statue serves as a reminder of the past glory and the hope for future success for the Robins. This print captures the excitement and emotion of the moment as the statue of John Atyeo is unveiled, and it is a reminder of the deep connection between the fans and their beloved club. The statue is not just a tribute to a legendary player but also a symbol of the enduring spirit of Bristol City FC.
