One Of The More Exciting Sporting Statues Of All Time - And They've Taken It Down

Religious conservatives in Qatar have forced the removal of this statue which portrays Zinedine Zidane headbutting Marco Materazzi in the 2006 World Cup Final.

'Coup de Tete' of The Headbutt, originally sat in the Pompidou Centre in Paris but was bought by the Qatari Museum Authority. Muslim conservatives have secured its removal on the grounds that it promotes both idolatry and violence.

Don't tell me they're going to have to take down that statue of Roy Keane taking out Alf Inge Haaland that's outside Mayfield Shopping Centre.
