Maradona statue unveiled

Another football icon has been honoured by a statue with a bronze sculpture of the Argentina great, Diego Maradona, although the dubious likeness to the 1986 World Cup winner has attracted online ridicule.

The 12-foot statue features the 1986 World Cup winner with a healthy head of hair and holding aloft the trophy he helped Argentina win in Mexico, but bears little resemblance to the then 25-year-old captain of the side.

Some online commenters said the statue looked more like the former England manager Roy Hodgson, former NBA star Larry Bird, Bobby Ewing from TV show 'Dallas' or "someone's gran".

Diego Doubtfire.

Who is being commissioned to make a statue that looks like that, and why was it not nipped in the bud well before being made public? This is a player who's the best of all time for quite a few people - how can those, on either side of work revolving around this statue, think it should be a go when it looks nothing like him?


Can't they just use 3D printers now? At least they'd look a bit like the person.I just don't get it.looks more like Paul McCartney than Maradona.

pretty low budget unveiling ceremony too that little puff of confetti


ronaldo dint fare much better




looks like they commissioned that lady who tried to restore a famous Jesus painting and ended up with a monkey.

One looks like child, the other one looks like a crazy Roman Emperor.
