Classic cartoon artwork for new stadium

Last updated : 21 June 2009 By Michael Morris
So the walls in the family stand were not just plain breeze block the idea came up to have something to decorate them. The idea came to have large images of City's greatest players / characters and to immortalise their classic moments in cartoon.

Below are a selection of the finished images that have now been added to the walls of the stadium, the Robin Friday image has been pixelated so not to offend younger fans in the family section (but i understand the 'uncensored' version will be on show elsewhere in the ground.

At the bottom are some of the pencil drawings that were used in creating these images. The completed cartoon of Phil Stant is below while the finished versions of John Buchanon (celebrating after his rocket against Swansea) and Scott Young after his Leeds goal are now on the walls.

Thanks to Mike for access to the original pencil drawings.
