A Hollywood sculptor has created busts of Liverpool FC legends Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard in a bid to attract the attention of Anfield regeneration chiefs.

Steve Hunter has carefully sculpted the two greats- winning plaudits from Reds fans who have seen his work on Twitter.

The talented sculptor - who supports Liverpool - is hoping his work could lead to him being asked to create statues to go outside the stadium once regeneration work is complete.

Steve’s glittering career has seen him work on Hollywood blockbusters from the Life of Pi to the Da Vinci Code.

But away from his dayjob he has been working on the models of Gerrard and Dalglish, two of his Liverpool heroes.

Each bust, both of which are still being worked on, has taken around 40 hours of work so far and impressed fellow fans that have praised his efforts.

The 47-year-old, who lives in London, told the ECHO he would normally try and get in touch with a subject to measure them up, but with Gerrard and Dalglish he has started work on them to see how the finished products are received.

He said: “I decided to do it myself and just get on and make them, and get in touch with LFC and see if they are interested in either taking the busts or commissioning a statue. There is a regeneration of Anfield coming and I imagine there will be statues so that’s the whole idea.”

A dad-of two, Steve has been a professional sculptor for 20 years and after working in the film industry is now keen to move into public sculpture.

And he is hopeful his Liverpool legends attract the attention of Anfield chiefs after his work was praised online by fans.

He said: “There’s still a bit of tinkering [left to do with the busts], they are not totally finished but as long as I’ve got a likeness. I’ve tweeted them and people like them so that’s a good sign.”
