# West Ham United: David Gold confirms new statue outside London Stadium

**Writing on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/pbviews2020/status/1327327476071223298?s=21), controversial West Ham United chairman David Gold has shared some ‘excellent news’ with supporters – going on to confirm that the club will erect a statue memorial of club icons Bobby Moore, Sir Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters.**

Gold, who has [attracted protests](https://talksport.com/football/656762/david-gold-west-ham-owner-fan-protest-david-moyes/) surrounding GSB’s current running of the club, appears to be earning rare praise from Hammers supporters for once – they are fully behind his next big move.

Confirming the announcement on social media, plenty of West Ham fans are ecstatic they’re finally getting a statue of their three greatest sons outside the new London Stadium.
