On his 64th birthday, the statue was inaugurated by family and club members.

They included his son and current chairman.

The statue was placed on a plinth with the words "The Possible Man" and the former chairman's initials on it.

Susan said that Khun Vichai loved the city. He appreciated the affection shown by the people of the city and how they believed in his vision.

His contribution to the club and the city is forever remembered.

For generations to come, people will stand in this place and tell stories of The Possible Man.

They will talk about his leadership and ambition, but also of his generosity and kindness.

His presence will be permanent in all the moments we experience together.
