10 Weirdest Michael Jackson Statues You Won't Believe
9. Football Museum
This waxy looking statue of MJ was commissioned by business magnate Mohamed Al-Fayed and unveiled outside of Craven Cottage on the grounds of Fulham Football Club, where Al-Fayed was chairman in 2011. Apparently a huge fan and friend of Jackson, Al-Fayed was the brunt of criticism when the statue was placed on display, mainly because it looked stiff and constipated. Art critics called it ugly kitsch, but Al-Fayed retaliated by saying If some stupid fans dont understand and appreciate such a gift, they can go to hell. Fulhams record improved, however, after placement of the statue. When new Fulham chairman Sahid Khan took office, he had the statue removed. It was placed at the National Football Museum in Manchester in May 2014 and Fulhams record took a plunge. Maybe Al-Fayed was onto something?
