Can see the likeness now.

How's this been done as the face was blanked out yet the hair has changed too and there's a faint white line around the head that wasn't there before.

So it's more than just the face.

Was this the original artist?

 

[BFC_53]

The eyes are miles better than they were, which improves the whole thing.

 

[The Merry Stripes]

Yes you beat me to it - thanks for posting

Weather permitting it should be finished tomorrow.

Fingers crossed it does the great man justice .

UTP ️

Worth waiting for

Well done Rox and all concerned

 

[Southshoresteve]

A million times better

Much, much better. Excellent work from Rox & the Armfield lads.

Special mention to the new Artist also

 

[Killingmesoftly]

100% better…

 

[LGDSeasider]

Unreal now

 

[Mark_GT]

Lovely stuff - a tribute to be proud of and top work Rox and Co for sticking with it

 

[JJpool]

Unreal now

Unreal as is good or unreal.....

 

[TangerinePeel]

Unbelievably better, no mistaking its Jimmy Armfield now. Bet it looks even better in person.

Fair play to those involved for sticking at it until it was right. Out of curiosity, was it the same artist who has done this final iteration?

Not the original artist, the fella that did it has a tv show but for the life of me can’t think of his name

David Crossley, just had confirmation

David Crossley, just had confirmation

Never heard of him, but he's done a good job.

 

[LGDSeasider]

Very good

 

[BFC_BFC_BFC]

Absolutely bang on the money this time…

 

[Purdonkey]

Superb work, Well done Rox, right man found for the job in the end

 

[Norfolk White]

This is sooo much better, you can now see who it is meant to be and I’m sure Jimmy would have been proud of this and I’m sure his family will be.
Well done Mr Crossley

 

[Come on the Pool!]

Well done!!

 

[JJpool]

[Fast Fourier Transformati]

It's now superb. Hats off to the artist who sorted it

 

[tangerine_neil]

Stand easy now lads. Job done.

 

[TangerineBayern]

That’s brilliant and well done to the Armfield Club for getting our Jim finished to make us all proud

 

[Johnno]

Now THAT is something to be proud of!!

Well done to the Armfield crew, and obviously the artist.

I’ll be taking a bimble down the road later to have a gander.

 

[Love BFC🍊]

Superb. Well done to all involved in making this happen

 

[Hadley]

Drove past yesterday and the end result is stunning. Well done to all concerned.

 

[Bandagem]

Brilliant, so pleased this was sorted out.
Well done to all at The Armfield, Rox and artist.
Looking forward to seeing it Saturday.

[NewburyOne]

So much better and now very much the fitting tribute we all wanted it to be.

 

[Blackpool_Rox]

Superb work, Well done Rox, right man found for the job in the end

Cheers Rob - thanks again for all your help and support throughout mate - we owe you a few beers old son …. ️

Cheers also to those posting all the other supportive messages, they mean a lot, all we ever wanted was a fitting tribute and something everyone could be proud of …… and I hope we now have it …. UTP

 

[Off Duty Trip]

I said a while back it would be best to whitewash it and start again.

This looks so much better , and certainly more befitting of your club legend.

 

[seasideone]

Looks fab

 

[Wilburrabbit]

Recognised the first attempt and I think I think it was the same artist who did this restoration

Well done pal looks great

I still think some of the criticism was over the top mind

Can't wait to see it in the flesh tomorrow

 

[Thatseasider]

Looks brilliant, well done everyone involved.

 

[SingerineOverCosgerine]

Looks really nice and I'm sure it'll look even better when I see it with my own eyes on Saturday. Great job guys.

 

[TwelveAngryMen]

That is so much better
Bravo

 

[Hevster]

Agree with everyone, that is such a huge improvement and instantly recognisable as the great man. Fantastic work all involved in getting it there! Can't wait to see it tomorrow.

 

[pinkseats]

Looks recognisable now!

 

[Mike_BFC]

Fantastic, look forward to seeing it tomorrow.

 

[Seainsea]

It's been quite a journey but credit is due for getting there in the end!
