Who the f**know issue that... because it sure as hell isn't Salah.

One of the Twitter comments nails it. It's Leo Sayer

Truly shocking

And lest we not forget, statue of a middle aged white brickie from Battersea, 'channeling' Michael Jackson

Incidentally, Mrs T bought me a 'poorly drawn footballers' T shirt with Glenn Murray's face. I absolutely love it.

No wonder any depiction of Mohamed is considered blasphemy.

People attacking this artwork in the same vein as the Ronaldo and St.Mary's ones, seem to be missing a point, somewhat.

I'm not arguing that it is particularly GOOD, but given the ludicrous dimensions of the body, etc, the artist's intention here was clearly not to create a lifelike resemblance - more a caricature.

It doesn't have to be lifelike, but even caricatures have to be recognisable.

Hello, is it Mo your looking for?

The Graham Taylor statue outside Watford ground, is very tasteful

I saw that on Twitter earlier and read it as Mo FARAH. Thought it looked a bit odd

At least the Ronaldo one at Madeira airport looks vaguely human now

The artist obviously just got a mate to put on an afro wig to sit for him
