The advert reads “14 stitches, neck operation, fractured shoulder, haematoma to right arm, appendicitis, lacerated kidney, torn abducter muscle, knee ligament damage… never lost heart. Impossible is nothing”.

It is based on the English rugby fly-half Jonny Wilkinson who kicked the winning field goal for our world cup win in 2003. And his determination to come back against a mass list of injuries.

Jonny Wilkinson recently played again for the first time for England after 1,169 days of time out from injuries in the 2007 Six Nations Championship game against Scotland on February 3, 2007. He scored 27 points in that game (a record in the Calcutta Cup) and was awarded Man of the Match.

Truely inspiring.

I just found this through Digg and was amazed by the use of Type by this designer. Instead of linking to the digg source (blog spam) – I’m going to send you to the original artist’s page and his particular gallery that has his use of Typography.

I’m a big big fan of typography and it’s great to see people still doing it as well as this guy :)
