The 10ft (3.5m), £200,000 statue, which has been in a foundry for four years, needs another £38,000 to complete the foundry costs.

Organiser Jim Cadman said Regis's recent death had devastated everyone involved with the project but it also created a new sense of purpose.

"We now want to try and complete the Celebration statue before the 25 April 2018 to mark a very special 40th Anniversary," he said.

"This was the date when Cyrille Regis, Brendon Batson and Laurie Cunningham started a game for West Bromwich Albion together for the first time - a 3-1 victory over Everton at The Hawthorns during West Bromwich Albion’s Centenary Year."
