I had this, and probably several others here have too.  The mail also gives
a direct line number, but I was only going to copy the e-mail address here
like Robin has.  No dates either - I'll dig a bit for that.

I may be dubbed a 'mad collector' (by an outsider, obviously ;-), but I'm no
sports fan or even a life sculptor.  A life-sized figure (not to mention a
whole team) is quite a tall order!  My suggestion would be to contact
Legoland Windsor.  I mean, sure I'd be willing to help out for charriddee,
but I don't think we could get enough bricks together from all the UK crowd
- and who'd do the face?  I wonder if LLW could do the bricks and plans,
then some here could 'help' build it - but it's still asking quite a bit of
them.  These things don't come cheap.

We know that LLW read this occasionally - could someone forward this to the
relevant people perhaps, and see how it goes down?
