Eyesore 10ft statue of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has been stolen.
Eyesore 10ft statue
The effigy — sculpted in full match kit from a tree trunk weighing nearly a ton — was nicked after complaints it looked nothing like the 22-year-old star.
It had pride of place 50ft above a store in his home town of Bryne, Norway.
But a thief — suspected to be a disgruntled fan — used a crane to grab it at night.
Businessman Tore Sivertsen spent £10,000 commissioning the statue saluting City’s £85.5million signing. Even he conceded it was ugly.
It was hoisted into place two weeks ago and Mr Sivertsen planned to auction it to help fund a hospital in Tanzania until it suddenly vanished early on Wednesday.
