We had an idea

About 6 months ago I was sat in the pub with my mate and he came up with the idea of producing something to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of  the Play Off Finals in 1999.

We were both there together on the day and let's face it for the vast majority of us it's pretty much the high point of some pretty barren times over the past 40 years or so. Having been to art college and done a fair bit of illustration and painting over  the subsequent years, he decided he'd try and create a watercolour painting capturing Paul Dickov's Goal. We scouted far and wide to find reference shots, grabbing screen shots off the dvd of the game and mixing them with other bits we found to create a unique view of the goal that we've never found anywhere else. Once we had the reference the painstaking work began to paint the scene complete with Wembley Crowd and scoreboard.

The result? Well here it is. If you want to see it larger try www.thatgoal.co.uk/thatgoal_image.aspx
