Bell, Lee and Summerbee statue | Unveiled (pg19)

It looks great and will be a good focal point at that side of stadium. But I see that city media are calling it the Holy Trinity. They were never known as that and the title has been claimed by the statue in Trafford - so just leaves us opening to accusations of plagiarism. It needs its own name and identity.

Noisy Neighbours.

imagine we had a statue of a player who relegated us whilst playing for the rags outside our stadium….

And he used to play for City just to rub it in even more.
Not only that but our hero manager used to be the Rags’ captain!

The Bell and Summerbee statues are superb .. but sorry the Franny one looks nothing like him and even his body shape is totally wrong

I also thought the Lee statue was nothing like him

Cracking tribute. Delighted that the families are so pleased with it.

Prime position for the bus welcomings...

I'll say it...

Love the idea, the style, the plinth with the other players names. It's great.

But I feel like they've got Bell and Summerbee spot on, Franny is more like 90% him. Think it's the nose that's just a little thin, but maybe it's just down to how I remember him?

Agreed, it doesn't look like Franny and his arm out to the side looks like Frank Spencer...

Where's his barrel chest ?

If only somebody had told the sculptor that the middle one was supposed to look like Francis Lee instead of Trevor Francis.

It a great likeness of a young Franny

Can’t believe I once so stridently predicted there would be no statues at the Etihad!

My worst prediction since I said in 2003 that ‘no-one will use the internet on their phone’.

Think this one looks great.

Can you predict no back to back treble?
