A world-first cricket triumph and a year of change

1987 was a landmark year for Australian sport as the national cricket team claimed its first-ever Cricket World Cup, defeating England in a thrilling final at Kolkata's Eden Gardens. Watched by millions across Australia and around the world, the victory marked the beginning of a new era for Australian cricket and secured its place in the nation's sporting history. Later in the year, stock markets around the globe tumbled on "Black Monday," a moment that rattled households everywhere — a reminder that 1987's headlines ranged from sporting glory to financial turmoil within months. Give the gift of this remarkable year — beautifully captured in a personalised newspaper front page that brings 1987 back to life.

  • Australia won its first Cricket World Cup in 1987

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the headline?

Yes - you're welcome to reword the headline. Our only recommendation is to keep the total number of characters similar to avoid the font getting too big or too small and not looking great.

Can I change the personalisation after ordering?

You'll receive a digital artwork the next business day.

If you need to make any tweaks let us know and we'll adjust your file.

Do I need to upload a black and white photo?

No - a colour photo can be uploaded. We will convert it to black and white when we prepare your file so it's similar to the photos shown in the product listing.

Do I need a scanner?

No. If you need to digitalise an old photo, a photograph taken of the original with a smartphone is a great option if you don't have access to a scanner.

Remember to take your photo in a room with good natural light to help avoid shadows.

How many pixels should my photo be?

Ideally 1,200 pixels x 1,600 pixels or larger

Is a personal message required?

No - the personal message at the bottom of the print is completely optional.

My old photo has some dust and scratches, will it work?

Yes. We touch up older photos in Photoshop at no charge as part of our service.
