This appears to be a model of a fish van, to GC diagram 51/52/53. (The variations were to do with braking, some were dual fitted.) The ends are wrong, but the sides are pretty accurate, The livery is also right for the later GC period, although originally (up until about 1908) these would have been brown with yellow lettering, rather like the GW "brown" stock. For a prototype photos and a drawing see LNER wagons, volume 1, (Tatlow) pp136-137. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably grey is passing the ball out from under his own sticks and the bloke to his left is looping around to set up a scintillating counter attack! Meanwhile the lad to his right has lost the plot as he is running into an offside position! Had the artist ever played the game?! "Yellow card Sir. What's that?" In the days when I played the only players I ever saw get sent off were the two who would not stop fighting when told to by the ref. There had of course been a mass brawl prior to this point. Fighting was okay and perfectly acceptable but you had to desist whenever the ref said to stop!
