Larger than life-size ceramic mosaic sculptures of a television set, a sofa and an armchair. The television depicts the moment Gordon McQueen scored for Scotland on June 4th, 1977 at Wembley, when Scotland beat England 2:1 to win the British Home championship. The scene shows the players, crowd, a streaker and a photographer. The television itself sits on a rectangular base. There are some missing tiles on the television. The sofa and armchair are covered with a mosaic of pieces of broken Highland Stoneware ceramics and include bird and fish designs. Assisted by John Mackay (1910–1998).
