TalkSPORT Radio Host loves a Derby
Graham Beecroft affectionately known as ‘Beeky’ to his legions of listeners on Talk SPORT ‘s breakfast morning radio show lives in the Wirral and is a keen fan of both Liverpool and Everton football clubs. So when both are playing each other in a classic Merseyside Derby, Beeky, one of the most knowledgeable football pundits on the airwaves, has divided loyalties.
As guest presenter for TalkSPORT at the Cheltenham Festival, Graham visited Equestrian Art Ltd’s stand and was taken by the paintings of Neil Cawthorne SEA, one of the UK’s finest equestrian artists, whose work features in the collections of the HRH Prince of Wales and Paul Mellon.
Although the painting of Neil Cawthorne’s being exhibited at the Festival had already been sold, Graham was able to view other paintings of Neil’s on EAL’s virtual gallery on the web He eventually chose another oil entitled ‘Tattenham Corner’ (illustrated) which embodies all the power and spectacle of another great and even older sporting derby contest – The Epsom Derby.
