When you see how many of these statues come out as a parody of the subject it makes you glad the Laurie Cunningham one does justice to him.

Would be worthy of a place in this collection.

This and Ditto.

Its a great, realistic statue. Long may it remain in Coronation Gardens.

The slowest T-1000 you’ll ever see

Where exactly is it? Somewhere in Chingford?

Peter May Sports Centre off Wadham Rd.

I say we take it, melt the thing down and sell for scrap, with the cash we offer it to Galbraith to stay another couple of years. Failing that we still sell for scrap and use the cash to buy a statue of Martin Ling

It only cost £7k to buy, how much do you think it'd fetch for scrap?

Hold on, are you saying we have to buy this from the council?? in that case we can bin this off now, if they are donating it to us, the price of scrap brass in the UK is currently between £2.00 and £3.50 per kilogram how heavy is the statue?

Its a valid point Joe, I was thinking this was like a big statue, seeing the picture this may only be a ton max, maybe we can just take the cash and buy some KFC buckets for fans in the family stand?

Stone’s throw from his boyhood club’s academy

It is pleasingly close to the Arsenal training centre.

Going to need some more brass for that.

was thinking more like mini statues, sold in club shop and can sit on the desk or use as a paperweight or even to hold the door open, so it doesn't hit his ar*e as we kick him out

He was often statue-like in the Euros…

It's not going up, and it's not coming down

Just get a statue of a Sloth to save space. They seem to stay in one place and don’t move much.

Just goes to show how out of touch the council are.

Terrible waxwork figures with that look nothing at all like the real people, Beatles especially.
The Harry Kane statue is also a rather poor effort.

Where he was first turned down by an ex-Orient striker.
