Support. Despite the weird background choice (what is with that?) - a more natural or action shot would be nice, but probably unlikely to get. Adds to our limited supply of sporting FPs and a good contribution to WP. This is the type of 'old stuff' we need. --jjron (talk) 13:40, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support. For the reasons stated above, plus the fact that it's a signed picture. Spinach Dip 21:11, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
