Because the artist knew restraint, the red hits harder here. The figure is painted clean and tight; the splatter of red, grey and black behind it does all the noise.

Put this on the wall and the room picks a side. A quiet bedroom turns into a fan's bedroom. A plain home office turns into somewhere that owns up to what you watch on a Saturday afternoon. It's a portrait first and a football print second, which is why it doesn't feel like a poster.

Hang it eye-level above a desk, a chest of drawers, or low over the head of a bed. It wants its own wall — give it space on either side.

Pair with plain timber, black metal, white walls and one red accent somewhere else in the room.

Don't crowd it with other sport memorabilia — let this be the one piece doing the talking. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang.
