The statue stands in Ashington’s Hirst Park where he played as a youngster.
Charlton, part of England’s triumphant 1966 football team which also included his brother Bobby, died in July 2020 aged 85 after being diagnosed with lymphoma.
His widow, Pat, said he would be “chuffed to bits” about the statue and the love shown by people in the town.
