Bring the Johnny King Statue Back to Its Best
Birkenhead, Merseyside, United Kingdom
Aim
Help restore the base of Johnny King’s statue at Prenton Park and preserve a proud part of Tranmere’s history for future generations.
Johnny King’s statue outside Prenton Park is more than a landmark. It is a tribute to one of the most important figures in Tranmere Rovers’ history and a lasting symbol of what our club means to generations of supporters.
Trust members and supporters have highlighted the need for maintenance around the ground, and the deteriorating base of the statue is one area that requires attention.
We are raising funds to professionally restore the base, including repairing damaged areas, carefully cleaning and refitting the original granite tiles wherever possible, and replacing the cracked and deteriorated rendering and pointing. The work will improve both the condition and appearance of the base, helping to protect it from further deterioration.
The Tiling Guys, who are Tranmere supporters themselves, have generously offered to carry out the work at a special community rate, meaning every donation will go further.
By supporting this project, you will help preserve an important part of Tranmere’s heritage and ensure the statue remains a fitting tribute to Johnny King for future generations of supporters. Every contribution, large or small, will ensure the statue continues to welcome supporters to Prenton Park for years to come.
Please donate and help us look after the proud history that belongs to all of us.
