During the recent demolition of Kettering Town’s former home, framed prints of the painting were made available to purchase through the club with proceeds from the sale going to the Kettering Civic Society, Kettering Town and Cransley Hospice. The original painting was also sold through an online auction.

Over 90 framed prints have been sold, raising £400 for Cransley Hospice and the presentation of the cheque was made at Latimer Park during the half-time interval at the Poppies’ clash with Hereford on Tuesday night.
