Outside Old Trafford, the Holy Trinity have been immortalised in Bronze. Here in Belfast, outside the National Stadium at Windsor Park, a Bronze Statue of George Best was unveiled on what would have been his 73rd birthday. Fans are not happy with the likeness....
Have a look at the photos in the link below.

What do you make of the statue? How can one artist get the likeness so well and one, well, not so well!

the nose eyebrows and lips look the same going by the picture in the article. The face shape isn't perfect, but it looks good.

It's a shambles. The look on the faces of people at the unveiling should tell you everything.

never recall George having hair that long. And dreads for that matter.

George was a handsome lad, I always wished I looked more like him than Bobby, especially in the hair department. The statue doesn't look like him, which is a problem when it is supposed to be him.

The only constant in sculpting athletes lately is too much of the artist and not enough of the subject. Egotistical wanques, these "artistes".

If you didn't know the statue was supposed to be George you'd never guess it was him
