Some fans booed the Liverpool academy product in May after he announced he would leave his hometown club when his contract expired in June.

Wikipedia is one of those rare digital miracles that feels like it live up to the vast promise of the web: a vast online encyclopedia, written and maintained by millions of volunteers across the world, in arguably the most extraordinary single repository of knowledge in human history.

The bronze statue of Margaret Thatcher by the sculptor Douglas Jennings has a rating of 2.8 out of five on Google Maps. Although curiously, none of the reviewers seems to have overly preoccupied themselves with the quality of the craftsmanship or the fidelity of the likeness.
