Scoreline – graphic art showcasing classic goals

1966

Here's something that might not be obvious at first glance, so let us explain Scoreline.

Essentially these are posters that graphically outline goals scored in classic football matches. Every World Cup final since 1934 and soon, FA Cup and League Cup games too.

The one above is obviously the 1966 World Cup Final, producing an image that could be pop art from that very same decade. If you want it, head over to the company's website, where it can be yours for £30.
