Harry Kane’s statue, called “fugly” and “nightmarish,” unveiled after five years

HARRY KANE'S 'fugly' £7,200 statue has been branded 'the stuff of nightmares' after it was finally unveiled after almost five years in storage.

The England captain and former Tottenham star smiled as he sat next to his image at the Peter May Sports Center in Walthamstow, London, on Monday.

The bronze statue shows Kane sitting while holding a football on his lap.

And the Bayern Munich ace posed happily alongside, less than 24 hours after scoring in England's 5-0 win over Ireland at Wembley.

The statue cost a whopping £7,200 to make.

It was commissioned by Waltham Forest council, where Kane was born, in 2019 while he was still playing for Totttenham.

The statue was built in honor of England's all-time highest goalscorer, who has 426 goals to his name.

But the city left Kane's tribute in storage for nearly five years.

That's because they couldn't find a location deemed suitable enough to place it.

However, it was decided to place Kane's statue at the Peter May Sports Center in Walthamstow.

It now sits along a wall decorated with graffiti art highlighting the highlights of Kane's illustrious career.

That's after plans to display it at Chingford train station were scrapped amid fears rival football fans could be targeted.

However, Kane's statue has not gone down well with supporters, with many calling it 'fugly'.

One declared: “That's the stuff of nightmares.”

Another said: “I doubt Kane is happy about this.”

One commented: “Why is his head so big?”

Another added: “Why does he have a goatee?”

Kane is not the first footballer to get a dodgy statue of himself.

In 2017, an infamous bust of Cristiano Ronaldo was unearthed at Madeira airport.

However, it looked nothing like the legendary striker and was widely ridiculed.

It was removed after just 15 months on display and remains in storage to this day.
