I remember seeing that shot in a photo once. Presumably the artist painted from the same picture.

Class painting.

Isn't the painting taken from the photo of his goal at home to Huddersfield when he equalled or became our highest ever goalscorer?

I recall we drew the game 2-2 after being 2 nil down and both Kimble twins played.

It's the first goal of his hat-trick against Hull, in October 1976
