Time for a little game, at least…that’s the dubious pretense anyway. It’s actually just a thinly-veiled chance for me to show off my incredible, award-winning* MS Paint chops with a bit of Friday afternoon frippery.

Any road up, please feel free to have a crack at pinpointing the eight classic football moments hand drawn by yours truly on Microsoft’s finest – or just bask in the glory of the supreme craftsmanship on show…

Any guesses/gushing praise for my artistic skills Pies fans?

(* I awarded myself with a nice cup of tea and a Bourbon Cream after my right index finger went numb from drawing these goddamn things. Rock and indeed, Roll!)

Hands up, this is an idea shamelessly plundered from the Sunderland Message Boards – whose similar thread is definitely worth a visit.
