[Football] Football murals

[PeterT]

I was in Manchester today and saw these 2 very impressive murals. Apart from the Albion ones, have you seen any better than these? The Guardiola one is particularly well done I thought (I hope the home owner is a Citeh fan!)

No I haven't seen any better but I do think a great place for a mural in Brighton would be across that really grim looking foot bridge that goes across the Lewes Road to connect the Uni sites. I'd put some money towards a crowd funder for that! As TBMBE has the freedom of the city I think the club emblem should be put on it at least. It's a really bloody miserable looking footbridge.

There are some amazing ones around Anfield and Goodison.

Not better, but I was surprised to find a big Mo Salah mural in New York a couple of years ago. His hair is smaller images of him, it's quite cleverly done.

Tranmere Rovers mural unveiled outside Prenton Park

A unique hand-painted mural featuring two Tranmere Rovers legends has been officially unveiled opposite Prenton Park. Created by local artist Paul Curtis, the large piece of artwork depicts Tranmere icons Ian Muir and Ray Mathias in all their footballing glory.

Thats awful for such a legend, what’s going on with his lips, and left ear, it just looks like the paint ran Like a big dew drop.

I've seen better, to be honest

There’s a few in Berlin, the most famous one is probably “Gewachsen auf Beton” (raised on concrete) which is in the Wedding district and a tribute to the Boateng brothers from that area. Wedding has a few tough areas and quite a lot of concrete.

Newhaven FC in the top tier of the main stand.

Really wish we could get a decent mural for Brighton.

While a million times better than anything I could do, only the one by the station stands up to others in this thread-the one vandalised by Palace and ended up looking even better

We may as well get it in before one of their NSC toadies does: the one of Princess Tiny Tears near Selhurst Park is, whatever you think of the man or the club, a decent bit of work, spoiled only by a few No Waiting signs and the fact that it's Wilfried Zaha. All the funnier that he took the midnight express to Istanbul a mere few months after they honoured him in this way.

Shame for the person whose house it is though: probably knocked about twenty grand off the value.

Signed for Tranmere by the great Frank Worthington. Looking at the relative appearances and goals for Tranmere versus for Brighton I can see why he is on the wall up here rather than down your way.

Yes, Uncle Frank saw his potential - shame Chris Cattlin and Lou Macari (who had him on loan at Swindon for a few weeks) didn’t .

Surprised the house hasn't fallen over....

(and as you say the value of the house probably took a dive).
