Description
You Are the Ref charts the history of the iconic comic strip that became a favourite with millions of football-mad kids and adults throughout the '60's, '70s and '80s. It has appeared alongside Roy of the Rovers, on the pages of Shoot magazine and has recently been revived to huge popular acclaim in The Observer Newspaper. Alongside the strips themselves are hundreds of accompanying Trevillion illustrations that set the scene for each era. These explosive images of sporting greats in action include, Pele, Maradonna, Gary Lineker, Jack Niclaus, Muhammed Ali and Tiger Woods, along with famous figures such as Winston Churchill, Richard Burton and Rudolf Nureyev. Paul Trevillion has been described as the finest sports artist Europe has ever produced. He was the defining creative force behind the legendary Roy of the Rovers strip in the '60s - the dynamism of his artwork setting a new standard in Comic Art Realism that will never be surpassed.
