Spring Into Action by Leigh Lambert

A deluxe version of this limited edition was created: 'Spring Into Action - Deluxe'

Themes of Football and working class communities (and beyond) coming together to play this most English of games, is often visited by established artists like Leigh Lambert, as well his artistic contemporaries such as: Mackenzie Thorpe, Paul Horton & Bob Barker.

There is something about the simplicity, comradery and universal appeal of the beautiful game - you only need a ball (of any size) and a couple of jumpers for goal posts, and you can play.

It strengthens communities, builds bonds amongst the children and adults and gives a sense of passion and purpose. Perhaps these young boys have aspirational goals to be as successful and famous as their heroes they see at the big match or on TV weekly?

Speaking of nostalgia, the BBC's 'Match Of The Day' was first broadcast way back in 1964!
