The short list of designs for the Statue of Sir.Brian have been unveiled....and I have to say....some are pathetic!!!!



Looks more like Les Dennis!!!!



Much better and it's by the same artist!!!!



Just doesn't look like him!!!!



I never knew he had a Tash!!!!



Looks like a Horror Mask!!!!

Not very good at all in my opinion!!!!

What do you lot reckon????

If I had to choose one it would be the one 2nd from the top

Same here!!!!

PS....this is the statue for Nottingham btw!!!!

The Middlesbrough Statue is already up and is much better than any of the above in my opinion!!!!

Here it is....

Agree with Fensy its the only one that looks like the great man.

On a related subject I was at Liverpool John Lennon Airport yesterday and they have a statue of the bespectacled one there that I found brilliant. Now looking at the picture below and others I've seen on the web you'd get the impression it was nowt like him but I can assure you that in 3 dimensions, seen through your own two eyes, it's the absolute pip both in looks and posture.

Moral: never rely too much on photos. The statues of Cloughie are perhaps better than you think.



P.S. I have to admit however that the real john lennon was probably not 8 foot tall.

i think the artist should try again
or select a different artist very poor likeness

2nd from the top's the best likeness.
What does anyone think about having one at Pools ?

He might have begun his managerial career here but quite honestly he has far more credentials and history elsewhere, both as a player and a manager. I'm proud we were on his pathway through footballing glory and he's arguably the greatest ever product of the Pools academy, but I reckon as far as Pools are concerned there are other deep-down Poolies for whom a statue would be more relevant.
Putting a statue of the great man at the Vic would be a bit of a bandwagon jump. Borer and Forest are without doubt the most appropriate places.

We could have a statue of someone else.

Any suggestions?

Ritchie Humphreys

second top one is the best but none as good as the one already up in Boro.

Bob Newton

Harold Hornsey

The well known serial pisshead? I'd prefer one of Dave Wiggett.

You have forgotten him already haven't you!!

You know who I mean!
























All right, all right here's a clue...

You're probably right Mutley. My Dad would probably have nominated Watty Moore, or Fred Westgarth. Fred was manager for 14 years, in charge for arguably our best ever season (get that one going again), and died shortly after our most famous match against the really talented Manchester United of the 50's. Although the stats on ITMC don't necessarily back up that he was more than an average manager.

knowing our luck we'll get a statue of Lawrence

What about a statue of Hangus?

Oh aye, Ted Welly!! Complete with dustcart and flying snowballs!!

Speaking of bins, what about Leo Harding.
