The restored sculpture
Mr Foxall was in hospital at the time of the smash and only found out when his wife Dianne, 69, showed him a copy of the Shropshire Star.
He said: “My wife brought me the paper and I was shocked by it.
“I didn’t think it would be smashed up like it was.
“It’s terrible when you are helpless in a hospital bed and you have to ask people to do things for you but I want to thank the council, the power station and my son David and granddaughter’s husband, Jason, for getting it back up.”
