Joining elite company at Queen of the South, well done Stephen. 
The wood carving statue of three club legends commissioned by The People's Project was unveiled on Saturday ahead of our win over Dundee United.
The statue which is located just outside the entrance to the QoS Arena honours the achievements of Allan Ball, Billy Houliston and Stephen Dobbie.

Stephen Dobbie is synonymous with the modern era of Queen of the South. First joining the club in January 2007, he scored 55 goals in his first two and a half years before his exploits earned a move to English Championship side Swansea City.
Over the next 9 years he four times reached the English Championship playoff final, earning promotion with three different clubs (Blackpool, Swansea City and Crystal Palace) and playing in the English Premiership.
Fulfilling a vow he made on his departure in 2009, 'Dobs' returned to the club in 2016 to finish his playing career here.
Players making such promises is not that unusual, actually doing so is much rarer.
He was appointed Club Captain by Gary Naysmith in 2018. In just over 3 years he has added a further 99 club goals to his total and stands as the 2nd highest scorer in club history with 154.
He also broke a club single season scoring record which had stood for over 80 years when, at the age of 36, he struck 43 times last season, and did so despite missing almost two months of the season with hamstring injuries!
