I always like the Tom Finney one outside Preston's ground. I think it and our Matthews one are the best in England by a big margin. The Bremner one outside Elland Road isn't bad and, of course, the bust of John Ritchie at the back of the Boothen is superb - pity it is only a bust.

And Gordon Banks.

I don't think the Banks one looks as much like him as the Matthews, Finney and Ritchie ones look like those players. |

Who is the Southampton bloke it looks a bit like Bobby Robson but he has no connection with them. Ronaldo is a fairly pretty boy I'd hate whoever did that bust of him do one of me it would look like a fking ork off lord of the rings. |

The Southampton one'sjust all out of proportion. |

Would probably be less controversial if the statue had looked a little bit like him! That is really a hopless attempt!  |

Perhaps the most bizarre and indeed embarrassing statue was Michael Jackson at Fulham. The new owner removed it sharpishly once Fayed had disappeared. What is just as bizarre is that I think it's now in the National Football Museum in Manc....baffling

That is embarrassing. It looks like Chesney from Corrie after a session at a tanning salon. |

I assume they must have played with a size 2 ball in the olden days  Either that or his head really was the size a small planet. |

It looks like Raoul Moat.
Or "Our Moaty" as that wonderfully sober, excellent judge of character that is Paul Gascoigne rather affectionately referred to him as.

The first Ronaldo one looks like it's melted in the sun.... The second, looks like his hands are bigger than the rest of him.... And the Southampton one looks like the artist realised he was running out of the stuff after making the head....even the ball looks the size of a tennis ball!!! |

The second one of Ronaldo looks almost Saido-esque in the old trouser department !!

Something else for me to spit on if ever I go to Madeira again. I've already spat on the Nacional stadium and the statue in the harbour. I couldn't find his family home or the family tombs so I couldn't spit on them.

Ronaldo was on TV this morning at the unveiling of that bust at the top, at least he saw the funny side.

Good club man and very decent managerial record not many managers would stay on as assistant to their successor. |

Our stanley statue should be moved, it would be much more suited to where the banks one is.

Somebody on a different site did some computer sorcery and swapped the bust onto Ronaldo's body......looked like the child of Sloth and Schwarzenegger!

Southamptons looks more like Michael Palin holding a shot putt! (Palin originally on Monty Python for those that didn't know Ted Bates).
