Fulham’s Chairman Mohamed Al Fayed, will unveil a commemorative statue of Michael Jackson at Craven Cottage, on Sunday 3 April at 12 noon, to honour the friendship he shared with the legendary performer.
Following the death of the star, Fulham’s Chairman commissioned a statue in his memory, which was originally planned to be erected outside his Harrods store. However, subsequent to the sale of the Knightsbridge landmark, it was decided that Craven Cottage was the natural alternative for the tribute.
The statue, depicting the singer in one of his most iconic poses, is situated on the banks of the River Thames, adjacent to the Riverside and Hammersmith Stands at the Football Club.
Fulham’s Chairman enjoyed a long and happy friendship with the megastar, who visited both his football club and his former Harrods store many times.
This afternoon Mohamed Al Fayed said:
‘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 ground breaking 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.’

At least if "Diddy" David Hamilton does, it won't cost a lot to erect one.0 -
I hope it's as tasteful as the 'memorial' to Dodi and Di in Harrods, which I once had the misfortune of seeing.0

I see a vision of the future where Al Fayed's friends gradually pop their clogs and each is rewarded with a statue outside Craven Cottage.
Give it two years and it will look like a garden full of gnomes.0 -
But Michael Jackson isn't dead - it is a conspiracy and he was actually behind the 9/11 stuff (and the recent earthquakes and tsunamis etc)

my boss who is a Fulham fan is cringing.0

It's just a ploy to attract more people to Craven Cottage. See the statue and come to a game as well :-)0

They originally planned to place the statue outside the Boleyn Ground. But the RSPCA weren't too keen about him being within earshot of "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles"0
