5 famous footballers with the worst statues you’ll ever see

#3 Luis Suarez

The poor statue of Luis Suarez in Uruguay

Next in line when it comes to famous footballers with the worst statues is Barcelona’s Luis Suarez. The striker is held in very high esteem both in Catalonia and in his home country of Uruguay. But the statue put up to honour him is honestly nothing to write home about.

The former Liverpool forward was immortalised outside a shopping centre in his hometown of Salto. However, it didn’t take long before the poor nature of the statue caught the attention of the world. Suarez may not be the most handsome man around but his statue was no reflection of his looks.

Worse off for the striker, his statue was later vandalised by unknown assailants. It’s a good thing to be honoured in your country with a statue but the artist of Suarez’s sculpture did him a great disservice with this one. It was simply poor.
