Reallondonowl Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Sorry for the delay but I was a little bit "shezzered " after Monday night! the horseshoe belonged to Ellis Rimmer who took it in to the dressing room as a good luck charm ahead of each of the FA cup games home and away during the 1934/35 season. He scored in every round. on the day of the 1935 FA cup final he realised he had forgotten to take his horseshoe to Wembley and had to ask someone to bring it down from Sheffield. That person did not arrive until half time and took it into the dressing room. Ellis scored two goals in the second half in the 4-2 win over West Brom. writing this has given me the same goose bumps I had on Monday night when the story was explained to me by the painter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was up at Newcastle Uni studying mining and in digs in S.Shields. I arrived home at the same time as my Landlord and we went into the front room for a cuppa. The telly was on and neither of us were interested. We were just going to switch off when a shiver went through me. 'Leave it on', I said, 'I've a feeling it may be someone we know.' The first shot was of Eammon Andrews.'His opening words were on the lines of 'We're waiting on the terminus of the station for the arrival of one of the crack express trains from the North, bearing tonight's guest.' 'It's Derek Dooley' I said, not knowing. And it was. We watched the programme, most unusual for us, with tears in our eyes. Memories!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly why wasn't it available in the shop the very next day after unveiling it? It would have sold so many on impulse purchases Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanye West Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'm hoping they decide to do just prints so they can be framed, not too keen on canvases, especially at that price as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Williams Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 that price is just as off as match day ticket prices. why are the club not banging out poster type prints at say £50 a pop? Another own goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another own goal I think the idea is that they are collectors items hence only 150 one for each year of the club...Im sure they'll be a cheaper version for the peasants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope so, otherwise I'll be using the picture from the website and having my own print done. I don't want to do that as I want my money to go to the club and the artist, but I've been excited about this since the day the idea was announced, and one way or another I'm having a framed version on my wall.

That said, limited to 150 hikes the price up somewhat as they'll be super rare. Like you, I hope the Club does a paper print - £35-50 - that I can buy and frame myself.

That's a fair price I guess given the cost of the canvas prints. Does the artist usually limit prints as well - can see the demand being high at the £100 mark.

wilfsmith Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I think the price will suddenly double and DC will refuse to continue with deal and get someone else to do the painting from scratch. They'll be available in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
