Craig as usual pre-visualised this painting with a sketch, which is here: 'Playground Champions Of '72 - Sketch'

For those that remember or know their football history, Craig has recreated the historic 1972 FA Cup victory of Leeds United over Arsenal, of course at the original Wembley Stadium.

After playing their own game of footy, the boys decide to recreate the FA Cup final day and pretend they are handling the cup, raising a vegetable colander overhead, lol!

The shadows behind the boys are players Jack Charlton & Billy Bremner and in the middle their manager Don Revie. The club enjoyed their most successful era in the 1960s and 1970s under Don, winning of course the FA Cup, The League Cup, Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (twice) & the League Title (twice).

This was actually the centenary final (100 years since the first winners) and, aside from the FA Charity Shield (1992), this is Leeds last victory in competitive competition.
