For over 30 years Paul Harvey has caricatured hundreds of the greatest players to ever don a football boot. From Coventry and Dyer, Matthews and Ablett, Flower and Blight through to Hipwood and Tipungwuti, Harv has drawn them all in his own inimitable style. His caricatures have appeared on everything from book and magazine covers to framed milestone celebrations, emojis, toffee tins, micro-figures, t-shirts and stubby holders.
A wise man once wrote that caricature is like a portrait with the sound turned up. This is particularly true of Harv’s caricatures which are always a stunning likeness but so much more. They are poignant statements about the player, the fluidity of his movement, his idiosyncrasies, the skills and his achievements
This book is not only a celebration of our great game through the eyes of one of the country’s pre-eminent exponents of the art, but it continues a long tradition of art and football and the role of the caricaturist in furthering the rich history of the National Game.
