Nat Lofthouse statue

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Outside the ground, who cares what opposition fans think? In my experience of them, sooner or later some idiot will try to deface it.

Presumably the statue will be cast in bronze so the cost will be in the making of the mould, why not then cast two statues and have one in the town and one at the stadium?

Because, like the man himself, the mould will break after the first cast.

Anyone who lives in Bolton knows how important Nat was to the town, he will always be a local legend. Whereas away fans and anyone who visits the ground will appreciate just how much he meant to us if his statue was outside the ground on the grass opposite Horwich Station. He is a fundamental part of what Wanderers now are.

It's a fair point, but it'll be seen one day a week except by cars passing in Horwich. In the town centre, just like Fred's statue, it'll be seen everyday. Outside the ground, who cares what opposition fans think? In my experience of them, sooner or later some idiot will try to deface it. Like has been pointed out, the man was so legendary to Bolton that a statue in each location wouldn't go amiss. I think the town owes him that much.

Yeah you're right TD. He deserves it! I only hope it will happen.

They probably lobbed paint on it thinking 'feck me, I didn't know that Fred Scuttle came from Bolton?!"

[TANGODANCER]

A statue suspended on a cushion of air? There's some lateral thinking gone into that, Tango. Fair play to you, Chief!

Or even a shelf maybe.

Who the feck's that meant to be? Uncle Jack?

What happened to his legs?

[Lofthouse Lower]

Some chap at Southampton, I believe.

I never noticed the legs, I was too busy laughing at his left hand

[$huttgun]

they can get rid of that train for me and put a Lofthouse one of equal size!! as for the town centre i think it is important that he was Bolton through and through and not just wanderers. there's two lions on the steps already why not have one we can be proud of?

Sorry, I'm not having a statue of the great man placed between the lions at the town hall.

The Southampton statue is of Ted Bates, a big hero as player & manager to them, but that's not the one shown. His is much better ;


I have to say tho that, much as I'd like one of Nat at thge Reebok looking at these I can foresee a lot of complaints about it if it's not a good one ; -

Now that is a statue!

The status of Nat should be of him drinking out of the cup

[TKIZ!]

How about his 'header' against Harry Gregg?

[Lofthouse Lower]

That Southampton one was the 're-do' after much public outcry after the unveiling of the one posted above.

With a bit of luck, our art aficionados will get hold of this before we end up with something we can recognise...
