A poster, unfortunately no other information.

Paine Proffitt (born 1972 in Phoenix, Arizona) is an American-born artist living in England, best known for his sporting works[1] and for his depiction of the "working man's life".[2] Proffitt moved to Philadelphia when he was fourteen[3] after spending his early years in Saigon, Beirut and Kenya[2] as a result of the work of his father - novelist and war correspondent Nicholas Proffitt.[4] Proffitt studied illustration at the University of Brighton in 1994 before moving to England permanently in 2001.[5]

Proffitt cites some of his influences as being Chagall and Picasso and while not ascribing himself to any one art movement in particular, feels that surrealism, cubism and contemporary naïve art are the best labels for his work.[6] The influence of Fred Otnes has also been noted,[6] with this being most apparent in the collage work Proffitt produced under the pseudonym of Nicholas Hudson Paine. Similarities to L. S. Lowry have also been recognised due to the northern working-class themes of some of his works.[6]

Sport, and especially football, has been a major inspiration to Proffitt's artwork: 'Football is central to who we are and where we come from'.[7] This sporting theme has seen exhibitions such as that at Twickenham for the Rugby World Cup in 2007[8][9][10] as well as commissions for football programme artwork. West Bromwich Albion used Proffitt's work for their programme covers throughout the 2011-12 season, this culminating in the July 2012 exhibition at The Public.[11] Proffitt's artwork featured on the 2012-13 programmes of Port Vale and Aberdeen FC[12] although Proffitt's association with Port Vale goes back several seasons before this.[13][14]

Stoke-born popstar Robbie Williams is purported to own several of Proffitt's pieces,[1] as do cyclists Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish after the city council presented them with two commissioned paintings during the Stoke-on-Trent stage of the Tour of Britain in September 2012.[15] An early Proffitt piece took top lot in a 2011 UK auction alongside work by Govinder Nazran, Sir Sidney Robert Nolan and Reggie Kray.[16] In a departure from his football-related work, Proffitt most recently exhibited a series of gothic fairy-tale inspired paintings in an exhibition entitled Broken Sleep.[17]

The truth is out there.

Pre 1968 Cup Final.
Was a big (for then ) Ad Campaign for the Milk Marketing Board

The FA Cup Finalists all drink milk
As one wag said; Milk? can't be that good one of them lost on it.

..not sure if it was that game but I remember Viv Anderson scoring a beauty in the Gwladys St, outside of his right foot bent in the top left corner of the net.

Not certain but I think that goal was a night match league cup game. That photo looks like daylight so more likely the season opener 1977-78. I think both the games ended 1-3!

...always stuck in my mind that goal as great technique finishing from one corner of the box into the far corner of the net. Great way of finishing in a one-on-one from a similar angle, the shape on the ball taking it into the net rather than away from the post.

Yep it was a great strike, I was behind the goal in line with the trajectory of the shot. A very good player in an excellent team. They went on to win it I think against our loveable neighbours!

Quick look and Forest beat us first game of the 77-78 season 3-1.
The game in question seems to be League Cup Nov. 1978 Forest again beat us 3-2 this time after playing a creditable 0-0 draw in the league at the City Ground 3 days before when Forest were in their prime.
Of course they went on to beat the rs in the final.
Goal scorers versus us in the 3-2 defeat were L.Lloyd..Viv. Anderson and T. Woodcock

Clouthie always stated we were unlucky in both ties Shilton kept us at bay!
Even the 0-0 one away we should have won!

Must have been posted before, nonetheless, such a great photograph.

A great picture, I've not seen this before so apologies to any previous poster if it has. Iconic shot for me - my earliest memories of going the match on my own with my mates are summed up here - get to the middle rail & hold your space as long as you can! Great memories for me, the banter, the songs, a great team on the pitch.

Made up to see this.

Well remembered mate! Just looked it up. Kenny Burns own goal on 12, then they scored 3 then big Bob on 88 too little too late.
