Legends Statues

Post by Jak_TedDrakeLoveChild »

We are delighted to announce that in the forthcoming weeks, statues will be unveiled to commemorate three legends in the history of Arsenal Football Club.

The statues will be located in prominent positions outside Emirates Stadium, where fans will be able to remember and celebrate three individuals who have contributed so much to the successful history of the Club.

The unveiling of the three statues is forming part of our 125th anniversary celebrations, of which the focal point will be our home match against Everton on Saturday, December 10.

The statues are another development in our ongoing programme to commemorate significant Arsenal moments, matches and individuals and make Emirates Stadium an inspiring place for us all.

Although the identities of the three legends will not be revealed until their statues are unveiled, our Club Photographers have been taking images of the statues during their production. Can you guess who the three legends are from the images below?


Can you tell who they are yet? Im guessing Chapman, obviously. Could one be Dennis? Would they really make a Wenger statue :shock:

judging by the pictures, one of them is wearing our 97/98 shorts, so yes, at least someone is from the last 30 years.

it has to be adams, wrighty or dennis.

the "ear" looks like it's chapman and the other one i don't have a clue.

if correct, has to be Tony Adams, but surely he's dodgy past, isn't something to build a statue on - although Big Tone, could always go there and talk to it :D

good news :barscarf:

my guesses are: Tony Adams, Arsene Wenger (you just know it) and Herbert Chapman. making three statues all at one time might devalue the whole thing but you never know.

Surely it will be Ken Friar, Peter Hillwood and wee jimmy Kronke ?

We want statues of that sort at our ground to enhance our matchday experience.

First pic is def the shorts from 98, so yeah that's probably Adams after his goal v Everton. Second one clearly looks like Chapman. And the third is most definitely Eboue being rogered by augie in an Alex Song wig and a Diaby gimp-mask.

Glenn Helder, Pascal Cygan and Jimmy Carter. Knowing our club it will probably be Frank Stapleton, Ashley Cole and Samir Nasri.
