By Far The Greatest Team at the National Football Museum
6th September 2015 by Martin GibbonsMonkeywood Theatre have commissioned a new piece of artwork exploring football fandom, in association with the National Football Museum. The comic strip illustration, BY FAR THE GREATEST TEAM, will accompany the theatre production of the same name, which opens at The Lowry on 17 September.
Artist Bob Moulder, whose previous work includes illustration for Roy of the Rovers, has worked with fans of Manchester City and Manchester United to create By Far The Greatest Team, using comic imagery to capture individual matchday memories in one unique artwork. Over the past few months Bob has met with real Manchester football fans to hear their stories of going to the games and has captured their unique experiences, ideas and characters, in an illustration. The finished artwork will be be exhibited at the National Football Museum from Wednesday 9 September until the end of November as a lasting record of football fandom in 2015. With thanks to John & Nathan Peel, Andy Bucknall, Bev Davies, Darren & John Earl, Andy Brown, Andy ‘Barney’ McHugh, Tony Slade and Catherine Whitmore.
