Not a great likeness, but they rarely are. Not as bad as some, and and least he's not around to have to pose with it.
Better than:
Andy Murray/Martin McGuinness
Maradona/Sandi Toksvig
Mo Salah/Antiques Roadshow Freak Boy
It's not great is it, looks more like Rodney Bewes from the "Likely lads"
that looks feck all like him
The face of that statue is the stuff of nightmares.
A Best themed hotel is being opened in the centre of Belfast with a statue of him overlooking the city from the rooftop. Hopefully they go with a different sculptor for that one

My favourite was the Ted Bates statue they put up at St Mary's.

I mostly just read the articles and comments to pass time on my work commute. Forgot all my login details etc. and stopped using the email address I'd signed up with. Was too much of a ball ache to get it back but had to post this article. The state of that statue is just too bad to be left alone.

It has been opened for ages.
To quote Jeremy Clarkson, 'How difficult could it be' to sculpt a statue that looks like the person it is supposed to be.
We are starting to see this more and more these days (the Ronaldo one for example) that look nothing like who it is meant to be. The sculptors for one, and the Ronlado one were clearly taking the pi$$.

Yeah I was pretty sure it hadn't opened yet, was having a nosey at the market in city hall and the outside still looked boarded up.
