In the bustling streets of Glasgow, on a cold January day in 1959, the story of Alex McLeish began. This Vertical Band Poster brings you an artistic homage to the legendary footballer who etched his name in the annals of Aberdeen's storied history. Capturing his image through a classic pose, this vintage minimalist, retro style illustration using only light and shade draws out the personality, identity, soul, emotions and determined gaze of a true winner.
McLeish, often affectionately called "Eck," made his way from Glasgow's gallus tenements to the revered pitch of Pittodrie Stadium. It was in Aberdeen that his talents truly came to life, and this poster evocatively recalls his meteoric rise. Eck was a robust centre-back, a guardian of the backline, known for his tactical intelligence and unyielding determination. In fiery matches with Celtic and Rangers, it was McLeish's cool composure that became the bedrock of many a clean sheet.
It immortalises him in a moment in time and takes you back to that moment in time. It tells their story and honours their memory. It immortalises them at the peak of their powers.
Among McLeish's countless feats, one unforgettable moment stands tall—the 1983 European Cup Winners' Cup final against Real Madrid. Aberdeen’s backs were against the wall, but with McLeish’s impenetrable defending, they emerged victorious. His performance on that rain-soaked night in Gothenburg remains one of football folklore, embodying the spirit and resilience of Aberdeen F.C. This poster takes you back to that exact moment, immortalising his legendary performance.
The unique graphic vertical band design uses colours synonymous with Aberdeen to showcase McLeish in a defining pose, capturing the essence of his footballing genius. Every swoop of light and shadow brings out not just a player, but a hero whose impact still resonates through the stands of Pittodrie and beyond.
This minimalistic yet evocative design, combined with elegant typography providing key information, is more than just a poster; it is a tribute to Alex McLeish's indomitable spirit. A must-have for fans and collectors alike, this piece stands as an enduring testament to one of Aberdeen’s greatest. Celebrate the legacy of a footballing icon with this stunning tribute to Alex McLeish.
Frames
Upgrade your print with our premium wooden frames, crafted for a timeless finish and delivered ready to hang straight out of the box. Unlike many competitors who ship prints and frames separately — or use cheap, lightweight frames that look and feel poor in quality — Graficona frames are designed to match the premium nature of our prints.
Why choose our frames?
- Ready-to-Hang: Each frame arrives with a hanging kit, so you can display your artwork instantly.
- Premium Materials Only: We don’t compromise with low-cost MDF or plastic frames. Instead, we use responsibly sourced oak or ash wood, chosen for durability and a refined finish.
- Distinctive Finishes: Available in natural wood, black, or white, each frame highlights the unique wood grain for a classic or modern touch.
- Protective & Durable: Combined with our semi-gloss silk prints, frames help preserve colour vibrancy and protect against light and moisture damage.
Protective Packaging
Every framed print is pre-assembled, then carefully packaged with protective corners, wrap, and strong box edging. For extra sturdiness, I-beams are used, and multi-item orders (up to 3 frames per package) are securely combined.

A gallery-quality framed print that looks as good on your wall as it does in our store — ready to enjoy or gift the moment it arrives.
We take every care to ensure your Graficona prints and frames arrive in perfect condition. Our packaging is designed to be sturdy, protective, and tailored to the product size. Unframed Prints
- Flat packaging for prints up to A4 size (securely wrapped and reinforced).
- Protective mailing tubes for prints above A4 size. Depending on location, these may be traditional round tubes, triangular tubes, or rectangular tubes — all designed to keep your print safe in transit.
