Statues of sportsmen/women around your locality

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Wales is doing rather well in the 6 Nations Rugby Tournament at present. We're top of the table; played 3, won 3 - England, Scotland and, this afternoon Italy.

Ireland on 8 March and a maybe to win the Triple Crown. And France on 15 March for the Grand Slam.

Now Rugby is REALLY important for Wales; desperately important. As far as I know, Wales is the only nation that erects statues of Rugby players on the street or in shopping centres.

In fact, Wales may be the only nation that puts statues of sportsmen anywhere other than inside or outside sports facilities. I was wondering about this and thought I'd ask.

So, have you got any in your locality?
