If these are of any use to you, please feel free to use them on the tribute album. If you want I can email you the original large files. |
Not being a football fan I'd never realised that was the reasoning for the colour scheme - and I'm from Norfolk too! I always assumed it was a nod to the 'Hairy Canary' Cobra.
