NEW plans to raise £100,000 for a statue of Barnsley and Manchester United footballing legend Tommy Taylor and an annual tournament in his memory will kick off with a meeting to set up a new charitable trust.
Tommy Taylor was one of eight Manchester United footballers killed in the Munich air crash 57 years ago next week (Feb 6 1958).
Now a group of enthusiasts wants a permanent reminder of Tommy Taylor in the town centre and an annual under 18s football contest to keep his memory alive.
** The full story appears in the Barnsley Chronicle, dated January 30. **
