OK, let's clarify one or two things here. The statue was not created by a lad it was created by a lass, well if you can call her a lass at 21. She isn't local she's from Southport. She isn't a student she's a fully fledged artist. The £2,000 to pay for the statue didn't come from our council it came from school funds.

You may feel it is a waste of school funds but personally I think it's an excellent way of promoting the school as a Sports College and of showing solidarity with the local football team (whose ground isn't all that far from the school.) It should be an inspiration to the youngsters and personally I like it.

We are short of a bit of statuary in the town so good on Moorhead for commissioning this and I look forward to seeing what she comes up with for the club.
