Lofthouse Statue

There's an actual picture of it on the website now.

 

To be unveiled on 27th August.

 

You can still purchase bricks for the surrounding.

 

Could someone do the honours with the picture, I don't know how.

It's not as impressive as I thought but I expect the finished article in person may be better.

Miserable bastud!

I am. But, from the images I have seen, I have been underwhelmed. If this great mans representation is going to be outside our ground it has to be better that brilliant.

No sponsors name on the shirt? BOOOOOO

 

And did they wear shin pads in the 50's?

I like it ... only criticism is he should be in action like Hughie McIlmoyles statue at Carlisle where he is shown heading a ball

Dont think any statue thread can be complete without the inclusion of this superb effort...

Is the lack of bulk down to cost cutting on the thing?

 

Like the 'look', just seems a bit out of proportion.

 

Can it replace the Fred Dibnah one in town?

Has somebody got the original photo that was based on?

It might just be me, but it doesn't look like Nat.

Im glad it's just not me.

Looks as much like Lofthouse as the one in town looks like Dibnah and that fcuk all.

When did Billy Bremner play for us?

The statue appears to have a receding hair line.

 

It looks good, but the likeness could be better.

I can see the likeness but it looks more like Jimmy Armfield.

 

Overall it looks to be a fitting tribute, looking forward to seeing it.

I'd imagine seeing it in person will do it more justice. Would have preferred the image of him holding the cup. How big is it?

Think it's this one, or a similar one to this.

Head is out of propotion with the body and the face is hardly a spitting image. Them that like it are easily pleased. FFS, he's smiling and flashing his nashers, looks like he's posing for a picture. The face on the picture says I'm going to kick the living shite out of these cunts this afternoon.

 

Don't like it, it's shite!
