The large mural ‘Earthquake’ on the corner of Lineker Road is on the end wall of the house at 87 Burnmoor Street (part of a terrace called Allandale Houses dated 1905) close to where Burnmoor Street joins Brazil Street. The painting was created by various artists as one of the set of ‘Forever Fearless Murals’ commissioned by GraffHQ and financially supported by Leicester City Council. The mural’s theme is that of the crowd as the ‘12th man’, the idea that the influence of the support of the fans, particularly the noise they can generate, can equate to having an extra player on the field. The sound of the crowd is referenced through the visualisation of an audio waveform on the mural at the apex of the roof. The rest of the painting is a scene from the stands with a crowd of people, many of them raising their hands and opening their mouths to sing and shout. “WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, CHAMPIONS OF ENGLAND”, BLUE ARMY and RICHTER SCALE are the words accompanying the blue-shirted fans represented on the wall.
