Evatt

The 26-year-old suffered a back injury on Monday which was set off by the sneeze, manager Ian Evatt said.

“I have to start having a long look at myself when players start getting injured sneezing,” Evatt added.

Ian Evatt's side acquitted themselves well, particularly in the first half, with Paris Maghoma firing their best effort just over the bar after Ross Barkley had been dispossessed in midfield.

She said Evatt paid Whiteley in race winnings from the trunk of his car, and when the gallery changed its mind and requested the canvas, the artist said, “It’s gone, mate”.

It was last sold by the artist to lawyer Clive Evatt in the mid-1970s after Whiteley refused a request from the state gallery that commissioned the piece to paint over a matchbook in the painting that suggested drug use.
