The Walthamstow pub owned by Harry Kane has reached out to the local council to request a bronze statue of the England captain.
Five years ago, the statue was commissioned; however, it has been in storage due to Waltham Forest Council's difficulties finding an appropriate location for its display.
In 2020, the cost of creating a sculpture amounted to £7,200. However, even though efforts were made to install it at Chingford's Overground railway station, they failed due to concerns about potential destruction from opposing soccer supporters.
The Bayern Munich striker's spokesperson expressed their client's thrill regarding the statue and eagerly anticipates finding a suitable location for it.
Stonegate Group and We Love Sport are leveraging the influence of social media to encourage Waltham Forest Council in relocating the statue back to its original spot, which could be The Bell situated at Walthamstow.
It is believed by them that the portrayal of their hometown hero would be well-received by customers who can relish a chilled beer in the company of football greatness.
On Friday, The Bell published an Instagram post consisting of an open letter directed towards the Waltham Forest Council. It began by saying, "Today we noticed something that piqued our interest."
An obscure statue resting in storage, neglected and deserted from the sight of multitudes.
We believe the public has been unjustly denied an appropriate homage to England's most historically significant goal scorer. However, we have devised a possible resolution.
"Imagine our pub, The Bell in Walthamstow where Harry grew up, graced with the magnificent statue of him cast in bronze."
