Fabio lays down the law.
With the hum of the vuvuzela ringing in my ears after a week of World Cup mania, I decided to pledge my support for our National Football team by carving these likenesses of manager Fabio Capello and team captain Steven Gerrard. Of course this is notstrictly true. These are in fact a couple of carvings based on the designs by pupils of All Saints Primary School in Coalville. Following a pleasant upturn in the weather, I have been outside merrily carving the sculpture that will eventually sit at the front entrance to the school. By the end of his week I will have been assisted by every student in the school. Each one, from 4 years through to 11, chipping away some stone to help to create the finished artwork towards the end of next week. Whether or not England will still be in the World Cup by the end of next week remains to be seen, hopefully no-one will be throwing eggs at my Fabio effigy if things go belly up though.
