EyesRight Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 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. Quote
Underpants Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I get the feeling I will be disappointed when I see the finished work. Quote
EyesRight Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 It's not as impressive as I thought but I expect the finished article in person may be better. Quote
jules_darby Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I get the feeling I will be disappointed when I see the finished work. Miserable bastud! Quote
Underpants Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 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. Quote
freds dad Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 No sponsors name on the shirt? BOOOOOO And did they wear shin pads in the 50's? Quote
jazza Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I like it ... only criticism is he should be in action like Hughie McIlmoyles statue at Carlisle where he is shown heading a ball Quote
DIPS Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) Looks good Very happy with that Edited June 15, 2013 by DIPS Quote
gonzo Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Dont think any statue thread can be complete without the inclusion of this superb effort... Quote
Casino Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 always imagined him bigger across the shoulders but, its good Quote
Guest Blixa Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 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? Quote
Traf Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Has somebody got the original photo that was based on? It might just be me, but it doesn't look like Nat. Quote

sunninghill Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Has somebody got the original photo that was based on? It might just be me, but it doesn't look like Nat. Looks as much like Lofthouse as the one in town looks like Dibnah and that fcuk all. Quote
no balls Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 The statue appears to have a receding hair line. It looks good, but the likeness could be better. Quote
Whites man Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited June 15, 2013 by Whites man Quote
Elephant Stone Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 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? Quote
Guest bwfcdan Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Has somebody got the original photo that was based on? It might just be me, but it doesn't look like Nat. Think it's this one, or a similar one to this. Quote
