Thanks for the link Cloggerman...the principle behind the statue is very good,however the physical item itself is not my cup of tea...

Whoever decided to spend £2000 on that needs their head seeing to, this smacks of Gayles top of the coppice thingy.
I know I've said Liverpool fans aren't known for their knowledge of football, but I'm firmly in the Bagpuss school of thought regarding this heap of scrap metal.

At last someone else who can see what a load of rubbish this is and surprise surprise it's a manc as well, I thank you.
Now can the people who have left me karma and PMs please speak up to show I'm not alone on this.

I will say it again if it hadn't mentioned Mullin you wouldn't have given a toss.

Re: paul mullin sculpture

Have kept quiet on this till a saw it a few times. Possibly it doesn't stand to close scrutiny, but what does?

Now, as I wander in, I give it a nod, quick as a flash the ball's killed and in the back of the net.

It's about imagination isn't it. I have friends who don't like cheese, but they don't go on about not liking cheese. Me I love cheese, £2k couldn't buy me enough cheese.

When it comes to a school, it's about sparking kids (sorry, pupils) imagination, not every attempt will work, we won't get promotion every year.

Accrington Moorhead has worked hard to achieve Sports College status, it's second speciality is Arts, and it has forged close links with Stanley. So the Statue helps celebrate the link; Stanley will be using the latest facilities at Moorhead over the coming seasons.

Stanley and Moorhead are two success stories in Accrington, a couple of grand celebrating the fact, and linking the two is money well spent IMO.

'Course if you don't like cheese.
