George Camsell: Statue unveiled of Middlesbrough top goal-scorer

A statue of Middlesbrough's all-time top goal-scorer has been unveiled.

George Camsell scored 345 goals in 453 games for Boro between 1925 and 1939.

His 18 goals in nine England appearances means he holds the highest international goals to game ratio of any Three Lions player awarded more than one cap.

Crowds gathered as well as the player's son, also George, and sculptor Sean Hedges-Quinn at the unveiling at the Riverside Stadium.
