I saw the pic in the paper,then on Radio 2 in my friends' shop I heard the news about Sylvester Stallone unveiling the Rocky Balboa statue which had been in storage for some years. He was announced as 'Rooooocky Sylvester Stallone Balbooooa' I think by the man who introduced him to the fans

So,just for a few minutes I'd wished I'd have known this was going to happen and pre booked a flight to Philly, just to be able to shout 'ROOOOOOOCKKKYYY!!!!!' or 'ADRIIIIIIIIIIAAAN' a lot at Sly

it would have been one of those moments in life that you could tell people years later that 'I was there'

I wonder if the statue has a wonky face too.

I live right near the statue. It looks really good back where it belongs. It never should have been in storage.
