Why is that a surprise? Its going to be placed next to the Maradonna hand of God statue and the Blatter accepting bribes statue. If only Suarez had bit Ivanovic during a world cup game.
****ing hell! Got to say, the statue of Materazzi looks more like Ferguson than the one outside Old Toilet. Then again, so does the one on Wellington's column in Lime St. Wonder if they'll do a statue of Maradonna punching the ball in in '86, or the ball not crossing the line in the '66 final...
So a statue of a hero standing up for his mother and sister is a new low? Is that Michael Jackson one still at Fulham?
Heeeey? Why? I thought thats what the Italian said to him? Something about mother and sister whore or something
Can you pinch cranes on it? I suppose you can, was going to get it but you need to put the hours in on it and I cant be arsed at the min
Perhaps- but it hardly makes his actions heroic, does it? Any more than Suarez' alleged racial slur ( if true) would be acceptable because of Evra's alleged remark about his sister. Mitigation, perhaps- but hardly worthy of iconic status.
Surely if this is a statue of anything its of how Materazzi won the world cup by psyching out supposedly the best player of the generation.
If you are gonna headbutt someone and get sent off in a world cup final then headbutt them, Glasgow kiss style, Zidane's headbutt was the gayest I've ever seen. If someone was to attack me I could only wish for them to do what Zidane did I'd connect with an Uppercut That statue probably cost more than most of us make in a few years
