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

    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

    Hales was a better header of the ball than all the women shown.

    .... thought times we're tough for Killer and he'd gone back into the workforce - hoped to get a quote decorating the apartment.

    Who is the artist? I want to see if I can commission him for a Christopher Le Point potrait.

    If he could capture this moment in the same way as he captured Hales' header, we would have a valuable reminder of the Duchatelet era.
