Stevie G joins Muhammad Ali

26th Jan 2010 - Latest News

Steven Gerrard is to appear as a waxwork in London's Madame Tussauds museum.

The skipper will feature alongside legends like Muhammad Ali in the interactive Sports Zone wearing a Liverpool kit and boots which he donated.

He said: "It is an absolute thrill to have my own wax figure at Madame Tussauds."

The wax model has been worked on since October last year when sculptors met Gerrard at Liverpool's Melwood training ground.

During the sitting, the team took over 300 precise measurements and a catalogue of photographs to work with. The figure is nearly ready at a cost of £150,000.

"We're delighted to be welcoming Steven Gerrard to the attraction in this World Cup year," said PR manager Liz Edwards.

"He will join his England teammates David Beckham and Wayne Rooney in our Sports Zone and guests will be able to test their own footballing skills with a 'shoot out' challenge over half term."

Gerrard will join an all-star sporting cast of greats from past and present in Madame Tussauds' Sports Zone - from Lewis Hamilton to Sachin Tendulkar, Muhammad Ali to Jesse Owens.

It will still be better and more mobile than Frank Lampard.
