Jumpers for Goalposts

The one memory we all have.

Before organised leagues and perfectly marked pitches, football was wherever there was a patch of grass and enough room to play.

Two jumpers became the goalposts, the rules were made up as you went along, and the match only ended when it was time for tea. There were no referees, no substitutions and no spectators; just endless energy, muddy trainers and the dream of scoring the winning goal.

Jumpers for Goalposts captures the carefree spirit of childhood and the simple joy of a game played for nothing more than fun. Inspired by the long summer evenings when children filled parks and playing fields across Britain, this nostalgic artwork celebrates friendship, imagination and the freedom to play until the sun began to set.

Whether it reminds you of your own childhood, your first football, or the friendships forged on the local green, this print is a tribute to the days when the best matches were the ones no one kept score.
