A STATUE of SA goal-kicking legend Ken Farmer will be unveiled at Adelaide Oval tonight just hours before the Crows v Swans AFL blockbuster.

It will be the fourth statue to stand at the redeveloped ground alongside those of Malcolm Blight, Russell Ebert and Barrie Robran.

Farmer played in back-to-back premierships with North Adelaide in 1930-31 and coached premierships at the Roosters in 1949 and 1952.

He played 224 games for North Adelaide and is SA’s greatest ever goal-kicker with 1419 which saw him top the SANFL’s goal-kicking list in 11 seasons.

The bronze statue will be unveiled at 4.30pm.
