The world of football commemorates its
heroes in the same, time-honoured fashion as all other realms of public life:
statues.
In football, however, the current trend is to
commemorate players while they are still around to enjoy it.
Here are a couple of examples from Arsenal’s
home ground in North London…

| Thierry Henry |
 |
| Tony Adams |
Henry, Arsenal's record goalscorer was moved to tears at the unveiling of his statue, back in 2011. England defensive legend Adams is captured celebrating a goal against Everton on the day that The Gunners won the league back in 1998. Both statues, and a third of legendary Arsenal manager of the 1930s Herbert Chapman, were commissioned to celebrate Arsenal's 125th anniversary.
