New Bobby Moore statue for OS

Posted by Sean Whetstone on June 9, 2015 in Whispers

Bobby Moore1 (1)Famous sculptor Frances Segelman has revealed to the Sunday Times that she has been commissioned to create a new Bronze sculpture of Bobby Mooore for the Olympic Stadium.

She told the Times “One of my next pieces is going to be a large sculpture of Bobby Moore for West Ham’s new ground.”

“It’s an exciting project and makes me think back to the first sculpture I ever did, which was of my father when I was 14. I was an only child and grew up in Leeds.

“Both my parents were creative and encouraged me to make things. Sadly, my father, who owned a cinema just outside the city, died of a heart attack when he was 53.”

    Sounds a great idea and she sounds like a nice lady,I just hope she’s got the sculptor stats and league standing to match our ambition. Only joking I’m sure she’ll do us proud.
