Player tribute flag
« on: November 05, 2012, 02:11:35 PM »
i had put this on the badge topic that you all helped out with on designing new club badge.  We have a bit of money in the coffers and want to have a player tribute flag. Ron Vlaar imediately springs to mind perhaps with Villas dutch master on the design. Christian Benteke is becoming a crowd favourite. there are others , and if you have photoshop or another tool on your puter, maybe we could get some ideas up and some designs done. any ideas welcome.

It would be great if Gabby had one.  I'd be tempted to start with him and then maybe a few others will pop up to honour the more recent squad additions.

Someone on here once came out with a line about Gabby after he  scored v Blues, it was a long sweeping piece of rhetoric that ended with the words, " and all is right with the world."  A picture of Gabby with that stirring statement around it would be nice in my view.

That's the last line is from a poem by Robert Browning

Pippa's Song

THE year 's at the spring,
And day 's at the morn;
Morning 's at seven;
The hill-side 's dew-pearl'd;
The lark 's on the wing;
The snail 's on the thorn;
God 's in His heaven—
All 's right with the world!

That's the one!

(A nice bit of culture brought into the mix by Bren'd, too.)

I've got to be honest, I don't like it. It's the kind of thing Blues would come up with.

How about a montage of current and former players over the years with Petrov taking centre-stage?

I can't get it to work. Sorry. Have you posted the correct link? It should look something like this:

Placing it in between the IMG tags should result in your image appearing like this:
