The Artist who created the Premiership posters has passed away today aged 85.
Grand Final day won't be the same without his iconic posters being on sale straight after the
Grand Final....
RIP WEG !

Yeah I grabbed 2 on the Sunday after the game- one is to be framed, the other to be hopefully autographed by the 22 at some stage...

RIP, at least I got 3 premiership ones for Brisbane.
FWIW he is listed as 75 not 85.

True story
In 2005 WEG found a burglar in his house and after a short struggle he got away.
WEG drew his own idenikit picture and the bad guy was caught the next day.
An institution has bit the dust.

Im glad the Swannies won a flag before he passed away, i have numbered poster 900# out of 1000, and a block mounted poster of the 2005 premiership. Will be missed.
