“UNFORTUNATELY, it looks like me,” quipped the 20-time champion jump jockey A.P. McCoy after unveiling the bronze sculpture of himself at Cheltenham on Tuesday.

A.P., who had his wife Chanelle and children Eve and Archiewith him, said: “I would like to say a huge thank you to Cheltenham - I never thought at any stage that there would be a statue of me, and I feel very proud and honoured. I would like to say thank you also to Paul Ferriter, who has sculpted this bronze.”
