The statue of Karl "Kalle Köping" Gustavsson, the man behind Swedish football's first national team goal, is made in life size with all the details in place.
- The most difficult thing to achieve was football.
It has been impossible to find the sewing pattern for how footballs were sewn around the 1020s, says Mitchell Ward.
In the end, he had to go for old pictures.
At the turn of the month, February / March, the clay sculpture itself must be ready.
Then it should be cast in bronze, get patina and shiny highlights.
By the summer, the statue is expected to be in place.
