In the town of Clydebank, amidst the shipyards and echoes of industrial Scotland, a footballing legend was born on 24th October 1950. Asa Hartford, known affectionately to fans as "The Heart of the Midfield," grew up in this working-class town where the grit and spirit of the land infused his every move on the football pitch.
Our Vertical Band Poster captures this extraordinary character in a moment that immortalises his dedication, passion, and sheer brilliance during his glory days at Manchester City. The minimalist, retro-style illustration, crafted using only light and shade, distils Asa Hartford's essence — his identity, soul, and the determined gaze of a true winner.
Hartford's playing style was nothing short of commanding; he was a tenacious midfielder with an uncanny sense for the game. At Manchester City, his vision and accuracy were unparalleled. He was the mastermind behind many unforgettable moments that forever etched his name into the annals of football history. Who can forget that breathtaking goal against Leeds United, where Hartford's dexterity and power sent the ball soaring into the net, igniting the hearts of thousands at Maine Road?
Moreover, it was Hartford's fearless spirit and unyielding drive that saw Manchester City clinch vital victories. His match-winning performance in the 1976 League Cup final against Newcastle United was nothing short of legendary. Every graceful pass and strategic play he made took the team closer to triumph, leaving fans and spectators alike in awe of his footballing genius.
Our poster brings this hero of the pitch back to life, capturing his image through a classic pose. The vintage minimalist, retro style illustration brings Hartford's story into focus, immortalising him at the peak of his powers. It is a testament to his relentless determination, his impactful presence on the field, and his towering contributions to Manchester City's rich history.
Using a distinctive and unique graphic vertical band design, intertwined with the colours synonymous with Manchester City, this poster is a must-have for devoted fans and collectors alike. Honour the memory of Asa Hartford, a true football icon, and let his story grace your walls as a lasting tribute to his enduring legacy.
