An Aston Villa fan who hung up her hairdressing shears to become an artist has garnered support from her football heroes.
Sue Verity, from Tamworth, Staffordshire, was forced to give up her 20-year career as a hairdresser after suffering a back injury which required surgery.
Determined not to succumb to the injury, she revisited her passion for art and went on to win the BBC Peaky Fan Art competition for her portrait of fictional character, Arthur Shelby, which was then used as part of the advertising campaign for series 5.
She has also had the chance to meet a range of stars from screen and the football pitch, including Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery and captain John McGinn.
