Mounts Kipper Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) I think some people think Nat was some sort of man mountain - he wasn't.There are some photo's up on the wall at Burnden Asda that show his( fairly slight for a striker) physique.It also shows that Bill Riddings head was twice the size of Nats. And I thought Brian Clough was the original old big head.Joking apart never been in the Asda at Burnden I might nip in to see these photos.

COYW Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 It is short of a plaque marking the centre circle in the car park. When Ayresome Park was demolished and a housing estate built on the site, the developers commissioned sculptures of jumpers where the goalposts used to stand and a football where the centre circle used to be.

Matt Lofthouse Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 never seen this one before tom finney statue Great statue that and something a bit different. Although it has a lot of problems with vandalism with people pouring washing up liquid in it, which knackers its pump. Who would do that sort of thing to a statue/fountain....

Sweep Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The total cost of the project was £100,000 with Bolton residents raising £35,000 £100K for that? - I wonder how much Jazzas_Bird's brothers will get for it when they chop it down and go weigh it in down the scrap yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweep Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Bit naff tbh. I think most football statues are a bit shit really, I can't think of any off the top of my head that are decent, expect maybe the Bobby Moore one outside Wembley. Isn't the Everton one of Dixie Dean a bit shit as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The Dixie statue is very good, the setting for it was naff, and what they do with it, when we un-vail new kits is naff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
