BLACKBURN Rovers duo Hakan Unsal and Tugay are to be featured on a specially commissioned statue to commemorate the achievements of Turkey's World Cup squad.
The Turkish government are planning to erect the work in their main parliament building in Istanbul to honour the team's achievement in reaching the semi-finals of the tournament - and then gaining third place.
The piece is set to feature every member of the triumphant squad.
Rovers midfielder Tugay featured in the third place success - a 3-2 win over co-hosts South Korea in Daegu - and Unsal came on after 41 minutes.
