Bremner already has a statue outside the famous Yorkshire ground and now Stirling is looking to pay tribute to the Scotland great.
Plans to erect a statue honouring one of Scotland’s greatest ever football players in his home town have been stepped up.
A statue of Bremner already graces United’s Elland Road ground where the fiery midfielder made his name. Alexander Gibb, project manager, said: “Leeds and Stirling are two great cities in which Billy Bremner is revered. While he has been immortalised in Leeds, it is about time Bremner is further recognised north of the border in his home town. It is an honour to be part of the project commemorating the man voted as ‘Scotland’s Greatest Ever Captain'.
Professor Haynes said: “We were very proud to work with the local community on the cultural heritage project about Bremner. We are delighted to be working with the SFSA and other partners to take the development of a memorial of Bremner in his hometown to the next stage. It is an honour that is more than rightful for a man of Billy Bremner’s stature.”
Bremner would go on to win 54 caps for Scotland and captain the national side at the 1974 World Cup in Germany. After his playing career, he also managed Leeds between two spells at Doncaster Rovers. He died in 1997 aged 54.
