THE committee of the Jimmy Johnstone Memorial Fund have started raising funds for a statue of the Celtic legend on the site of the former St Columba's Primary School in Viewpark which Jimmy attended.
Glasgow folk band The Wakes have written and performed a tribute song called 'The Uncrowned King of Football', which was launched at the Derby Inn, Mossend.

The CD will be sold to help fund the statue and to support Motor Neurone Disease charities in Scotland.

'The Uncrowned King of Football' is available to buy from www.thewakes-band.com
