sandwichsaint Posted 13 September, 2016 Share Posted 13 September, 2016 Looking at the second picture down, if Shearer bowls a bit of off-spin, right arm over, I think he's got the pose just about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 13 September, 2016 Share Posted 13 September, 2016 A realistic statue of Shearer a top, top, top, top, top player if ever there was one would have his left elbow up at head height smacking into some poor sod's jawbone. What's that Alan? You need to get your elbows up to gain height... right! Surely we didn't teach hime these tricks. Credit where due he does his best to put a positive word in for us against the BBC wholly negative narrative about Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a reasonable likeness of when he was younger, and the proportions are ok. there was not a single appendage on Ted's that was proportionally correct. In fact, looking back, it can only have been done so wrong by someone deliberately. even the football was one of those 5-a-side practise ones.

niceandfriendly Posted 13 September, 2016 Share Posted 13 September, 2016 I remember sitting outside St Mary's on the morning following the unveiling of the original statue, alongside an elderly gentleman who probably would have seen Ted in his early SFC days. He was just shaking his head and almost in tears. I on the other hand was shaking my head and trying to contain the laughs, but I did feel sorry for the other chap. Good on Leon Crouch for sorting it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on Leon Crouch for sorting it out. It's just a shame the video I have of my ex-girlfriend seeing the original Ted Statue for the first time will never see the light of day again. Gobsmacked was not the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabrone Posted 13 September, 2016 Share Posted 13 September, 2016 Well deserved - brilliant striker, for me the best English no 9 of all time. Still, we've got one or two legends of our own.....personally I'd love to see a statue of this bloke outside SMS. An absolute legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
