Michael Essien: The newest member of the dodgy statue club

You can't even begin to claim you've made it until some sculptor's been commissioned to play fast and loose with your likeness.

First it was Cristiano Ronaldo (twice).





Then Diego Maradona.



And now, this absolute corker of former Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien, which was recently erected in his homeland of Ghana. 

maybe these sculptors must help us understand what's going on..
