Commissioned to celebrate 25 years of State of Origin this magnificent scene by Jamie Cooper was unveiled prior to the 1st 2005 Origin game at Suncorp Stadium.
The painting and Prints were underwritten by a private sponsor for the Queensland charity organization - FOG's (Former Origin Greats).
FOG's, headed by Origin Legend Gene Miles, drew back the curtain at their annual FOG's luncheon with the greats in attendance. A Digital Canvas Reproduction sold for $20,000 and the NO.1 Print (of 200) sold for $10,000 at the lunch.
FOG's went on to make over $300,000 from the project.
