This is the Bob Paisley statue outside Anfield Stadium, scanned using the Otter Lite and printed with the K2
I tried this one before but had to stop halfway through as security weren’t too keen on what I was doing. Came back again, different day, different outcome.. this time they were absolutely fine and even had a bit of a laugh about it.
Once I could actually finish the scan, it came together really nicely. The detail on the pose, the coat, and the expression really shows why this statue means so much to Liverpool fans.
A fantastic piece of football history captured digitally.. and proof that sometimes it’s worth going back for round two 
The statue was unveiled in 2020, positioned near the Shankly Gates, placing Paisley exactly where he belongs.. at the heart of Liverpool Football Club. It was created to honour the most successful manager in the club’s history, a man who quietly changed football forever without ever seeking the spotlight.
Bob Paisley took over from Bill Shankly in 1974, a moment many thought would be impossible to live up to. Instead, Paisley surpassed every expectation. In just nine seasons he led Liverpool FC to 20 major trophies, including six league titles and three European Cups. To this day, no manager in football history has matched that European achievement.
What makes the statue so special is how understated it is.. just like Paisley himself. He’s shown walking calmly, hands behind his back, deep in thought. That familiar pose reflects how he was known around the club and the city. No theatrics, no big gestures, just quiet authority and absolute football intelligence.
Paisley wasn’t just a manager.. he was a teacher, a mentor, and part of a unique Liverpool tradition. He helped build the famous Boot Room culture, where ideas were shared, trust was everything, and success was built collectively rather than around one ego. That philosophy shaped decades of dominance and still influences the club today.
Standing there scanning this statue, you really feel that weight of history. It’s not just bronze. It represents humility, brilliance, and an era that defined Liverpool Football Club as a global force.
Capturing this digitally felt important.. preserving not just the shape, but the story behind one of football’s greatest minds.
