    It would be great to see some of the statues and monuments from different parts of the world.

    I know there are several in Brazil and England. But I would like to see more ...

    Unfortunately, (or fortunately) they've removed this statue at Southampton. The proportions of the statue were deemed to be unworthy of the player's image.

    honestly, it does look a bit off.

    Thanks for the photo. cheers.

    Great one at Charlton Athletic there too.
