Fingerprint: Enormous dark-skinned footballer at heroic scale with head thrown back and fist punched straight up, huge white starburst of stadium floodlight glare flooding upper center, "WORLD CUP '90" in giant italic yellow letters on horizontal red speed lines, two footballs visible, gold circular emblem with face, yellow script "THE GAME" logo, portrait sports action.
The single most memorable element is the enormous dark-skinned footballer painted at heroic scale in the middle, head thrown back and one fist punched straight up to the top edge of the glass. Behind him a huge white starburst of stadium floodlight glare floods the upper centre, washing out part of the sky. The title WORLD CUP '90 in giant italic yellow letters sits low across red horizontal speed lines. Two footballs are visible - a black-and-white one in the bottom-left corner and another caught high in the glare at upper left - plus a gold medal-like roundel with a face in it at bottom right. A yellow script THE GAME logo occupies the top-right corner.

Portrait-format painted backglass dominated by a huge white starburst of light radiating from the upper centre against a dark navy-blue night-sky background. In the centre foreground is a large dark-skinned male footballer with close-cropped hair and a moustache, head tilted back and mouth open, wearing a dark navy-blue jersey, his right arm thrust upward to the top edge with a clenched fist. Around him run four smaller players: at top centre a player in a white shirt with red trim mid-stride; at left a player in a blue-and-white hooped shirt running left, beside one in a yellow/gold shirt; at right a player in a white shirt and dark shorts running right, and a fifth partly hidden behind the central man's raised arm. The lower third is a green football pitch with white markings, carrying the title WORLD CUP in huge italic yellow block letters with heavy black outline, followed by a white '90, all set over horizontal red speed lines. A black-and-white football sits in the bottom-left corner and a gold circular emblem containing a face occupies the bottom right. A thin green, white and maroon pinstripe frame borders the whole glass, and a yellow script logo reading THE GAME sits at the top right.
