McTominay gets Maradona statue to honour legendary Napoli No 10
Napoli star Scott McTominay is so fond of the bronze Diego Armando Maradona statue in the stadium that he commissioned a replica for his garden, and now Billy Gilmour wants one too.
The statue stands in the tunnel of the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, and the players touch his foot for good luck before walking out onto the pitch in Naples.

Maradona inspiration for McTominay
Walking past it so many times inspired Napoli midfielder McTominay to the degree that he decided to get a replica made for his garden.
He showed it off proudly, and Sky Sport Italia claim that his Napoli and Scotland teammate Gilmour was so impressed that he asked the artist to make one for his home too.
Maradona was a true legend for Napoli, winning their first two Serie A titles, and his image continues to adorn the buildings of the city in tribute murales.
The statue was made after the stadium was renamed in his honour, following his death in November 2020.
