One last Sunday evening bump for this, thank you so much to everyone who has already shared/purchased/generally spread the word, it really helps a bunch.

Well the Ashes have gone, but we've still got a chance of restoring some pride on Saturday at Headingley. England need to channel the spirit of 1988, with someone giving an Andy Gregory style man-of-the-match performance, and a Henderson Gill style "bit of a boogie" post-try celebration 🤞

Well Saturday didn't go great for England, so we're going to need something like the Garry Schofield-inspired 2nd Test performance from Melbourne in 1992 to get us back in to the Ashes. Fingers crossed for Everton this week! 🤞

The Countdown to the rugby league Ashes begins - and to kick it off here's a 'Rugby Reloaded' classic episode charting the incredible story of the 1946 'Indomitables' and the first post-war Ashes series: on.soundcloud.com/EMF3GoRrQUuD...

Rugby League's Ashes kick off this week as England take on Australia at Wembley. 35 years ago this week, Ellery Hanley led GB to a memorable 19-12 win over the Kangaroos at the twin towers. Here's hoping for a repeat on Saturday 🤞 See the full library of legends at Legendsofleague.picturehouse77.com

RIP Drew Struzan. He somehow made movie stars look more full of life than they did in reality. His posters were just fantastic. I had the Last Crusade poster on my wall when I was a kid, and I couldn't work out how he made those marks - it was like magic

It's Super League Grand Final week, and on this day in 2011, our #LegendsOfLeague Legend of the Week produced one of the all-time great individual performances to help Leeds defeat St Helens. It's the iconic Rob Burrow. Thanks for the memories Rob 🙏👏👏👏

Jack Russell's beautiful painting of the old Tavern at Lord's hangs in the ground's pavilion, sadly hidden away on the first floor partly obscured by stored TV camera equipment when I last looked. An incredible artist, and this work deserves far more prominence. It is one of my favourites.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Born on this day in 1963, our #LegendsOfLeague Legend of the Week is Lee Crooks. The ball-playing and goal-kicking forward became an instant hero for Hull FC, before being transferred to Leeds for a record fee in 1987. See the full library of legends at Legendsofleague.picturehouse77.com
