Paul was charged with transforming a grainy black-and-white snapshot into a massive, lifelike mural that stands two stories tall outside the club grounds.

He has done football-themed graffiti art for clubs like Liverpool, Everton, Tranmere Rovers, Ipswich, and Bradford.

He worked alone for four days, using spray cans, paint tins, and a hydraulic lift to change the pub’s facade. “People always ask me which was the hardest bit – it’s actually doing text on pebble dash: it’s like painting across a mountain range,” said the comedian.

Paul employs a technique known as “the Scribble Method” to guarantee that his design has the proper dimensions. He described the process:

“You basically put a few random marks on the wall and then you take a photograph of those marks and then you overlay your design, so when you’re up there, you know whereabouts on the wall you are, like where the ear goes, where the nose goes, that kind of thing.”

The finished artwork has already received a lot of attention. The Turf landlord stressed the importance of getting it right for everyone who donated.
