My mum just gave me this, it’s a painting of my grandpa Sam Snell who played 93 games for the Saints in 30s & 40s. He was a police officer also, hence the helmet. Not sure who the artist “Morgo” is, nothing came up on Google. Or what the panther on the goal post is about.
Interesting to me, if anyone can shed any light on anything it would be appreciated.

Good tip! Found this on Wikipedia after looking into it. Who said Saints BigFooty is just for fighting about McCartin/Petracca!

Hi mate, great picture. During the 1940's the Saints were briefly nicknamed the Panthers, that is probably why there's one in the painting.

That’s probably the classic photo of John Dugdale.
I think Verdun Howell is the one other player I recognise.
Fantastic memory for you to have of your father.

Don’t be sorry.
That was the best performed Saints team I have ever had the privilege to watch.
Any other time and they could quite easily gone back to back.
It is what it is though, and that doesn’t detract from how good they were.

Would still love to have a Jason Gram playing in our back half today though….
