Virgil van Dijk statue latest in list of disaster tributes including Ronaldo and Essien
18th January 2018
Liverpool’s record defender Virgil van Dijk has joined the long list disaster tributes as a dodgy statue of him was erected outside Anfield.
“Finally, A Player worth its weight in gold” was the inscription beneath the the caricature sculpture in what was a poor attempt at immortalizing their new signing.
A PR stunt saw a towering figure of the £75m defender placed outside of Anfield before it was removed for security purposes.
It joins a long list of infamous football statues including Cristiano Ronaldo's disaster effort and Michael Essien's recent bizarre image in Kumasi that surfaced on social media some weeks ago.
