The Night-Owl Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 A very clever concept brilliantly put together. Very happy with the final outcome. Even despite having a couple of players on it that probably shouldn't have been. And it would have been even better to have a more wide range of era's included. Despite it going to a fan vote and many of us fearing the true club greats would get overlooked, there's still quite a few true greats on there. The only ones I can debate having on there are Bullen and Walker but that said Walker was still a very good player and of the sort of European caliber of Nilsson and Waddle. I would have liked to have seen Jackie Robinson or Ellis Rimmer included. Rimmer for scoring in every round of the Cup the last time we won the famous FA Cup and Jackie Robinson for being our best wartime player. And from what I've read about Robinson he was one of the star players in the country at the time, and one of the most exciting players of his generation along with the great Sir Stanley Matthews. He also put in a man of the match performance against the Germans in the Berlin Olympic Stadium in 1938 in front of Hitler, he was supposedly the only English player in the team not to give Hitler the satisfaction of a Nazi salute, and he went onto score twice in a 6-3 rout on German soil. And if his impressive wartime record was included in his official stats, the exciting winger would be included high up among our top goalscorers of all time. But no-one can fault the finished artwork. It brings to life the dressing room scene and it's as though those players from different eras are all there together as one team.

Orlando_Trustful Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Looks great. It is going to be ridiculous that with such a demand for these we only sell them at a limited amount at a high price. We could sell literally 1000s if it is priced say between 50 - 100 quid. I hope someone manages to at least get a decent copy of them and I will definitely be purchasing one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_Trustful Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 The only real shame is the Waddle one isn't him with the stiffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWLERTON GHOST Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 The real shame is its not a squad picture they could have fitted in Robinson ,Quixall ,Sterland etc but the moment missed for me is where's Big Ron? Cup in hand or Big Jack flat cap on head That for me would have made it special.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
