Jamie Philips, Connor Humpage, Kevin Rooney and Alex Lacey innocently took a snap of themselves posing in tight jeans outside All Bar One in Grand Central in 2019.

But the photo went viral and the image was shared millions of times, leaving the Internet to revel in what many thought was their questionable dress sense.

A Sea Shanty moving version of the picture also went viral and the four became famous across the world.

Now, artist Tat Vision has unveiled his statue of the four Midland-men-about-town during the Birmingham Weekender 2022 event.

Tat Vision sparked interest on Thusday when he teased the masterpiece on Twitter.

He reportedly wanted to make a "Greek-style" statue of the lads, using an array of materials to produce the work - including mannequins, tight clothing, gold spray and papier-mâché.
