Oi Steve - I just said OBV I know it's Gilksey, but it does look like Kebe - it looks like he has a beard and Kebe had a beard, I don't remember Gilksy with one.

:wink:

Steve's sold one or two recently. He's just bringing them to a wider audience. Ebay may be next, the Whiff maybe........I'm told.
You may even see him selling outside the Mad Stad at the Murty testimonial. :shock:

Steve says "tell your friends" word of mouth is a wonderful thing.

I'd be very interested in getting a quality print of just that Robin Friday picture with his arms aloft on a hooped background or on black and white as per the original picture.

I had a painting of that image commisioned a few years back and paid over £200, but that image is much better.

Can this be done?

Ok, time for a quiz for a plastic American fan who only started following after the 2005-2006 season:

Upper left:
No clue, is there a database of player records that go back that far? That kit must be the 1896 kit opening Elm Park.

Lower left:
Robin Friday with arm raised.
Next to him, not sure, I think he first name is Mark or Keith. Face very familiar just can't place it.
Then Steve Death sliding.

Lower right:
Not sure of the keeper in red.
Above him, Micheal Gilkes.
Not sure on the players next to him from the 1800's or the other bloke, maybe from the 50's?

Upper right:
Phil Parkinson?

Fill in the blanks and educate me mates.

It seems to me these look a bit naff. Something with a bit more style wouldn't go a miss.
