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.

    I get the feeling I will be disappointed when I see the finished work.

  • When did Billy Bremner play for us?

  • seen this on twitter so may have been posted already   anyway   should've had this as the statue, leaning on the doors at the main entrance

lets be honest

 

if you wanted something that looked just like him, you'd hang a photo

 

its what it is

 

i reckon its not so bad

 

 

As statues go I've seen good ones, and Ive seen bad ones. This is niether. But, as this one is ours it has to be, at the very least, nothing less than very good.

His face is pointing in the wrong direction and it's Kevin Davies hair cut. Still, as undies says, it's better than that statue of the Krankie Gonzo put up.

That reminds me, was Davies the body image of the statue?

I'm sure I read that somewhere.

I think you may be correct on that one and if so even Davies' shoulders have more meat on 'em than that statue.

It looks more like Sid James

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

Who the fucking ell is that suppose to be??

 

Ha ha I've got it.......... .NB in a suit

Detail can be excused as I assume its fucking difficult to mould/cast a replica from photos alone. That part looks like a good job to me

 

But the shape of the body is wrong. Compared to that photo at least.

 

And that's inexcusable IMO

Cunt! :D

Derek Dooley at Bramall Lane. Is that the only statue of someone at a footy ground that didn't play for or manage the club? Presuming Wackos has been removed from Craven Cottage by now

It reminds me of Tom Hanks...

Today I've learned that it's always a good idea to scroll back through the posts before adding a quick reply!

Bloody massive that statue. Two tonnes and 6.1m high including plinth.

The face looks more like nat in his later years. The body is right but the stance and posture is all wrong. Shoulders are back which makes him look less intimidating.

Could be worse

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.
