Lucy Pittaway introduces her latest football-inspired creation, Ha’way the Lads, which celebrates Sunderland AFC and the city’s football culture.
A Scene Sunderland Fans Will Recognise
In this piece, Lucy’s well-known sheep character stands outside the Stadium of Light, dressed in Sunderland’s red, white, and black. The fan wall, built from supporter bricks, forms a backdrop that many will recognise. You’ll also spot the Davy Lamp and black cat symbol, both of which are important to the club’s story and Wearside’s identity. Each element has been chosen for its meaning to Sunderland supporters.
Football Runs in the Family
Lucy’s connection to football goes beyond her art. Her father, Willie Maddren, played professionally and managed Middlesbrough FC. Because football was part of her family life, Lucy brings a genuine understanding to her football-inspired work. This background gives her art an authenticity that resonates with anyone who loves the game.
