Derby County goalkeeper Bywater, 29, claims he has recently taken up art as a hobby and described the items in his front garden as a 'masterpiece'.
But Mike and June Taylor accuse him of trying to make their £800,000 home unsellable in the latest act of a long-running dispute over land they own at the rear of the properties.
Now, after a few stern words from his employers and the police, Bywater has backed down and agreed to remove the offensive artwork.
In the meantime Mr Bywater has covered the artwork with a large tarpaulin to avoid causing any further offence to his neighbours.
But the Taylors say Bywater, 29, is trying to 'bully' them into selling the four acres of pasture land, which the footballer is believed to be interested in to graze horses on.
Other neighbours agreed that Bywater, far from producing works of art, had to harass the couple.
Mrs Taylor, 69, a retired insurance broker, said: 'Our house is on the market but we want to sell the land with the house as we believe it will make the property more attractive.
Hedge dispute + blow up sex doll + delusions of grandeur + WTF? Love it.
