Harry Kane statue
I hear that LBWF have had a HK statue in storage for a while but cannot find a site for it.
Apparently TfL have refused to have it at Chingford Station, and Ridgeway Park do not want it there.
So could Mark Devlin offer to have it down at the Orient.
After all HK has connections with us, and he would not be the only ex-O to go on to play there trade in Europe and have a statue near the ground!

Re: Harry Kane statue
It's a f*cking hideous statue and he had a brief, decent but not earth shattering loan spell. It's an obvious 'no'.

Re: Harry Kane statue
Its worse than that Ronaldo statue a few years back. No wonder they have never put it anywhere. £7.5k? What a waste.Proposition Joe wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 7:28 pm It's a f*cking hideous statue and he had a brief, decent but not earth shattering loan spell. It's an obvious 'no'.

Re: Harry Kane statue
Great idea to find somewhere for this at Brisbane Road. Made his professional debut here, sponsored the first team shirts for three years. Of course he didn’t have the same connection as LC but HK is England Captain, is a local boy and played here at the very start of his career. Who knows he could still come back once his contract with Bayern Munich ends.

Re: Harry Kane statue
Completely correct. He was here for five minutes and made minimal contributions. Yes he sponsored our shirts, but that doesn’t warrant a statue FFS.Rubex Kube wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 6:57 pmHK Was & Never will be an ex O like LC.BengeO wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 6:51 pm I hear that LBWF have had a HK statue in storage for a while but cannot find a site for it.

Are you seriously comparing Laurie’s contribution to a loanee?

Re: Harry Kane statue
Why does he have a statue? He hasn’t achieved anything. David Beckham is from the borough and doesn’t have one.

Obviously not. HK only played 15 games for us.ChorizO wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 10:01 am

I'm saying it's a bit weird for anyone to achieve legend status at a club without playing a signifcant number of games, over a significant period of time, and making a significant contribution to that club.

Re: Harry Kane statue
HK strikes me as a decent person. Beckham is just interested in cash hence his tie in with Qatar.BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 10:09 am Why does he have a statue? He hasn’t achieved anything. David Beckham is from the borough and doesn’t have one.

Re: Harry Kane statue
Exactly right bobo. We could put it on the pitch put a red shirt on it and nobody would notice the difference.
