So here goes, Alan Shearer in a not so characteristic pose with a clenched fist which we all know was flat palmed as he turned away from seeing his latest shot hit the back of the net.
Then came another Geordie goal scorer, Jackie Milburn, who seems to have a nasty touch of psoriasis. Great player nevertheless but hardly immortalised. Whor' Jackie.
Portuguese hero Ronaldo has at least two statues on show, either on Madeira or on the main land, and this one does his attributes proud as we get the full package of this marvellous well endowed striker.
David Beckham is also known as "Golden Balls" and his money making team has led him to pose in his undies on behalf of the H&M store, much to the pleasure of young admirers, both male and female. Oi, hands off!!
Sadly Carlos Valderrama is remembered for other reasons, through this curious impression which does most of him a favour. We shall all remember the own goal he scored in that World Cup which brought about his demise. I think the "barnet" is meant to be?
And one who might have been taken out by own assasins, the Krays, as a reward for his "Hand of God" moment, puts the offending article close to his heart; to stop a bullit maybe?
Ted Bates is known to some as the legendry manager of Southampton FC and quite rightly he has his
statue erected at the club. Unfortunately many thought this squat figure looked more like Milan Mandaric, owner of fierce rivals Portsmouth FC down the road. The statue has since been changed.
Another statue that has quietly disappeared is that of the well known footballer Michael Jackson!!! with whom Mohamed al Fayed had a close relationship. The eccentric club's owner regarded the singer as a lucky charm. When MJ was on show at Craven Cottage, Fulham had a 35% win record. After the statue was removed this fell to 25%. Well that's that then. BTW that is an ice cream?
