Unveiled on 28 April 2003 by Prince Andrew, the bronze 'Champions' sculpture by Philip Jackson sits on the corner of Barking Road and Green Street in Newham, minutes from the old Boleyn Ground. It depicts Bobby Moore lifting the Jules Rimet Trophy on the shoulders of three teammates: Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters (both West Ham) and Ray Wilson (Everton). Three of the four are West Ham men. The sculpture is one of the most visited public artworks in East London.
