London, Mar.19 (ANI): Fulham football supporters are crying foul over plans to unveil a statue of pop star Michael Jackson at Craven Cottage ground.
Jackson will join Fulham Fifties footballing legend Johnny Haynes as the only two club 'figures' immortalised at the stadium, if the statue is unveiled.
Fans complained that Club owner Mohamed Fayed is using Craven Cottage as a 'dumping ground for his weird statue', which would make Fulham a 'laughing stock' and asked if the ground should be renamed Madame Tussauds.
The statue reportedly features the 'king of pop', who died in 2009, wearing what looks like underpants over his trousers, striking one of his 'iconic poses'.
Many fans have already signed a petition protesting against the statue and a demonstration is planned on the day of its unveiling on April 3, The Daily Mail reports.
Fayed said that the six feet statue of Jackson, who was also his close friend, would be unveiled next month.
He originally planned to place the statue at Harrods, but the Egyptian tycoon sold the store for 1.5billion pounds last year. (ANI)
