TrentVilla Posted November 25, 2012 Moderator Share Posted November 25, 2012 The fiberglass and moulded plastic statue of jacko outside craven cottage takes some beating True but that really has knob all to do with football and is just the indulgence of a mentalist, it will be chucked in the Thames as soon as Fulham have a new owner.

Troglodyte Posted November 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2012 Not football related, but I quite like the Dickie Bird statue that was erected in Barnsley a couple of years ago - I drive past it when going to see family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 From a certain angle he looks like he is flipping the bird. I was in Headingley (Leeds) a couple of weeks ago and they couldnt afford a statue of Dickie Bird there, but they did name a big clock after him. You cant miss it.

TrentVilla Posted November 25, 2012 Moderator Share Posted November 25, 2012 Is it just me or is it just a bit wrong having a statue of someone who is very much still alive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Depends on who it is. I think Nelson Mandela probably deserves his statue near Big Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted November 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2012 There is also, of course, the statue of Henry outside the Emirates, and he's still playing. Even came back to play on loan shortly after it was unveiled - there can't be many players who have their own statue outside a ground they're still professionally playing in! There is a statue of Juan Román Riquelme in the Boca museum, though: And Simone Perrotta, who is still playing at Roma, has a statue in Ashton-under-Lyne - as one of three players born there who have gone on to win World Cups (the others being Geoff Hurst and Jimmy Armfield): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I'll bet the guy who was commissioned to do the Henry statue was a bit annoyed at having to update the plaque with his stats on after every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islingtonclaret Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Wow, Trent. Wow. Time for you to head to the Hall of Fame, mate! Why hasn't anyone in the media actually commented about how shockingly poor the resemblence is of this statue to who it's supposed to be of?
