This is great, but I think it would be better outside the o2 arena not a football stadium.
football supporters near a statue of mj. not a good idea

not being sterotpyical or anything lol but think of thick ignorant idots who read tabloids ontop of the thug racist hoolligan element that follow football teams.
what's wrong with the mj statue near football/soccer supporters?
I also feel like that maybe is not the right place ?

Al Fayed, who was a close friend of Jackson, commissioned a statue in memory of the pop icon following his death in 2009.
The Fulham chief originally planned to erect it outside his Harrods store, but following the sale of the Knightsbridge landmark, he decided it should be situated at Craven Cottage.
The statue, depicting Jackson in one of his most iconic poses, will stand on the banks of the River Thames, adjacent to the stadium's Riverside and Hammersmith stands.
The statue will be unveiled on Sunday 3rd April before the Cottagers' home game against Blackpool.
Jackson did visit Craven Cottage as a guest of Al Fayed, who told his club's official website: "Michael Jackson was truly a legend, a term used too often in this modern world saturated in the hyperbole surrounding celebrity.
"He was my friend, a man with whom I shared many happy memories and who died a tragic and untimely death.
"He left behind a legacy of music so vast it takes one's breath away; from a precocious talent to an ingenuity and groundbreaking modernity that shall never be repeated.
"It shall often be imitated, but it will never be replicated.
"Michael Jackson was, and shall always remain, one of a kind.
"I hope that many fans of his will visit the statue at the Cottage from far and wide, and that Fulham fans will appreciate seeing the finest performer in the world in and amongst them, the finest fans in the world."
I actually agree with Rio Ferdinand. I love Michael to pieces. But, I also agree there are many great great great football players who deserve to have a statue in the football club.
It's a nice gesture of Al Fayed. I know he means well.
Your forgetting that Football now is very much policed and monitored
Anyone caught defacing the statue would face criminal charges i'm sure
