Not only have I seen that picture before, I’m in it. You may recognize me as the right-most blurry blob.
The picture is from a rugby match I played in with the NU rugby team back in 2002 while we were on tour in Andorra. The original image can be seen here: blurry lineout. I’m the blurry number 6.

For only $800, this larger-than-life image can grace your wall.
