THE memorial statue to Blackburn Rovers benefactor Jack Walker is being unveiled tomorrow.

And while he was giving nothing away about the work of art by sculptor James Butler, Rovers chief executive John Williams admitted: "I think it is a fabulous tribute to a fabulous man."

The three metre statue will stand in the newly created Jack Walker Memorial Garden at the rear of the Blackburn End and will be formally unveiled by Mr Walker's brother, Fred, at 1pm, and fans are welcome to attend.

"There will be a small formal party but any fans who want to come along are more than welcome," said Williams.
