I went to the Football Museum in February and can honestly say that the Michael Jackson statue is the best thing in there. Utter shite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's obviously very distraught about the whole thing and at the end of the day he was only trying his best. I think most people watching would have been hoping his renewed statue would be good. The more the video and new statue can be shared the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bozziovai 195 Posted March 30, 2018 he got famous for the wrong reason. was it due to time constraint that he submitted the finish product as ugly as that ??? or was that the best he could do ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 10,995 Posted June 18, 2018 statue has been replaced Quote A statue of Cristiano Ronaldo that was widely mocked and left football fans scratching their heads has been replaced. The bronze bust of the Real Madrid and Portugal forward went viral with people questioning its resemblance to the player, after it was placed on display at Madeira airport last year. Some compared its likeness to former Republic of Ireland captain Niall Quinn, but sculptor Emanuel Santos said his work was just "a matter of taste". The airport has replaced his original effort with a bust that boasts a greater likeness to Ronaldo. According to Madeira Island News, Ronaldo's family made the request for the replacement through the CR7 Museum, which is based on the Portuguese island. The switch took place on the same day that Ronaldo, 33, scored a hat-trickagainst Spain in Portugal's World Cup opener in Russia. But the change has not gone down well with everyone and a petition has been started to bring the old sculpture back. "The bust is more an attraction for our island today and we can not accept in any way its replacement," the petition says. The original statue was revealed in March last year at a ceremony to name Madeira's airport after Ronaldo, who is a local hero on the island for what is seen as his rags-to-riches success. Santos later had a second attempt to silence his critics with a second sculpture of Ronaldo, commissioned by the website Bleacher Report. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
