Kane is able to laugh about it!

After five years in storage and despite claims it does not quite capture its subject, a shiny metal statue of Harry Kane seated has been unveiled – much to the delight of the man himself.

The England and Bayern Munich forward beamed as he unveiled a statue of himself on Monday in Waltham Forest, the London borough where he was born and learned his craft as a child.

The statue was commissioned in 2019 at a cost of £7,200 but the local council didn’t know where to put it.

After seeing images of it earlier this year, many people came up with their own suggestions. Not all of them were Arsenal fans.

That is a truly woeful sculpture. Not the worst - it isn't Ronaldo - but FFS! :hehe:

I see that list refers to Steve Ovett's statue having been stolen. Looks like the thieves got the bronze.

(Only a single foot remained on the plinth, apparently).

Of all the famous footballing poses to be immortalised in, a knee slide, fist pump, running arms out, etc they chose to have him sitting on the bench?
