As he presented the artwork to the club’s chair, he praised the club as a place that’s known for being a “family club”.

“It’s always been a family club, and you’ve made it just as much a family, not only your own family, but a family of Hednesford and the community. That’s what’s important at the moment,” Pete Mason said.

He continued: “I’m a Walsall supporter, and so therefore you’ve got to have green grass in the background. I’ve done the Walsall flag. But I thought, this is closer and this is better. It’s black and white and it’s Penny Black and all the rest of it. Penny Black is famous and this guy and the team are going to make Hednesford famous.”

Craig Gwilt, Chairman of Hednesford Town FC, said: “We absolutely love it. It’s a brilliant and unique piece, and we’re really grateful to have something like this created for the club. It’s a lovely bit of art that captures our badge in a different way, and we can’t wait to get it displayed at Keys Park for our supporters to see.”
