AS THEIR GOALIE SEES THEM
NEW BRIGHTON AFC 1976
The product of one spare afternoon about a month ago on the part of Richard Wilson might earn the New Brighton soccer club several hundred dollars. Wilson, the New Brigh-
ton league side’s gifted goalkeeper, started doodling — and drew the entire squad in caricatures. He thought it was quite funny so took it along to show the team. He was a little surprised by the enthusiastic
reaction, and it was suggested he draw another for use as a poster which the club could sell. So he did. This copy Wilson took along to Derek Robinson, the dub’s secretary, who
was most pleased. He in turn showed it to Hugh Marshall, who works for a commercial art firm, and Marshall set the wheels of production in motion. The result is a most striking poster, which is
on sale for $1.50. Only 100 have been printed so far, but Brighton has not had a home game since and when it does they are expected to sell quickly. Wilson, a watersider, did a lot of artwork at school.
