    Wait til the Oyston's pretend their mother has had words and Blackpool fans pretend they weren't so bad really, just a bit misinformed.

    However Morty was a true hero who scored a hat trick in the famous " Mathews " final in 1953 and to remove the statue is a total and utter disgrace to his memory and the history of the club.

    It says that the Blackpool fans helped pay for the statue, how much did they pay? If it was 50% do the club have any right to remove it?

    Not very sensitive to the feelings of the relatives of the Mortensens either.

    Mortensen is a Blackpool ledgend, as is Stanley Mathews who I had coaching sessions with.

    They are the heritage of the club, and shouldn't be messed with.

    Not much chance of that isn't the prick on the FA comittee for deciding who is a fit and proper person?

    Any chance they can also get that Gareth Edwards one out of the St David's Centre now?

    And who can forget the Michael Jackson statue at Craven Cottage that was eventually removed?

    it was in the wrong location. It should have been at West Ham, as he was always blowing bubbles.

    'Supporters had been planning to lay tributes to Mortensen during protests against the board this weekend as it marks the 62nd anniversary of the striker's hat-trick in the FA Cup final at Wembley'.

    Unbelievable Jeff.
