FOOTBALL CLUB OWNER DESIGNS EMBRYO ARTWORK TO RECOGNISE TOWN'S IMPACT ON THE WORLD
AN 'UNUSUAL' giant artwork has been erected outside a football stadium.
The eight-metre tall embryo was put up at Boundary Park in Oldham by local legend and club owner Frank Rothwell.
The design celebrates Oldham's crucial role in developing IVF technology - and is supposed to act as a prototype for a 30m (100-foot) high sculpture at the side of the M60, according to Frank.
The Oldham-born businessman had previously revealed plans to build a 'big f***-off wheel' to mark the entrance to Oldham borough.
The idea was to use something eye-catching to attract visitors to the area and celebrate positive aspects of Oldham's past.
His designs for the wheel have now evolved to focus on the areas medical research history, the MBE-holder revealed.
