Johnny King Statue

In 2014, the Trust raised £50,000 for a statue to honour legendary manager Johnny King, with replica models produced as commemorative gifts. The bronze statue was unveiled outside Prenton Park by Mr King himself, a legend that took us to Wembley five times during his two spells and to our highest ever league position.

Sculpted by artist Tom Murphy, the statue was described by Micky Adams, Tranmere's manager at the time, as a "wonderful tribute".

He said: "He was a terrific servant for this football club and if I can achieve half of what he achieved for this club I will be a happy man."

Ben Harrison, who was chair of the Tranmere Rovers Supporters Club at the time, said: "Johnny King is the club's greatest ever manager and is rightly revered by every Tranmere supporter.

"A loyal servant as both player and manager, the unparalleled success and style of football played by his teams as we rose from near oblivion to the verge of the Premier League will always be fondly remembered at Prenton Park."
