Would have been better with the accuracy in my opinion. It might have looked better like that, dunno really. I like it, will buy one if and when they become available. If the accuracy thing annoys others, probably best not to buy it. We'll never know I suppose if a more accurate one would have been more popular than this one.

I can dream can't I? Make it as positive as you like! Say how much you love it and the artist has done a cracking job and how you'd buy one Nobody is stopping you mate Go for it.. If that's how you feel then you should post and say so. Positive threads come from positive contributions Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at some point they've abandoned that and started sticking them in randomly so you've got Big Ron as an Essex boy and Reda Johnson is nowhere near his birthplace or where he first played (it took me a few seconds to Google he was born in Marseille so why couldn't the artist have done that?) In a footballing sense Reda isn’t European. It says on the bottom of the artwork. Reda, yoann folly and madjid bougherra all played for African countries but born in france Edited May 31, 2020 by gazzatheowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could post how great you think it is, how accurate it is, how great the colours are, how he's done a good job, how good it is that our fans do things like this, how good it was of SWFC official channel to share it etc etc Literally an endless list of positives you can post about it if you feel that way!

If all players were in their correct birth location it would have caused over crowding in certain areas. And I didn't think that would look good, so it was an aesthetic decision 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Owl Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Still seems silly to me, why do a map saying this is where our European players are from and then put them miles away, I mean the Reda one is bad, Helan and Dielna from what I can find are from similar areas, just plonked them anywhere.

@owlstalk Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 This is nice. He did it for his dad. That's a nice touch and will always be applauded and appreciated. He's right about jogging memories too - there are some players on there I'd totally forgotten about 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
