“The Goal of the Century” and Paul Henderson. The two have gone hand in hand ever since the Toronto Maple Leafs forward became the unexpected hero of the 1972 Summit Series between the U.S.S.R. and Canada. Henderson scored three straight game-winning goals, including the series-clincher with 34 seconds remaining in Game 8 as Team Canada overcame a 3-1-1 series deficit. Photographer Frank Lennon snapped this iconic image of Henderson’s goal celebration and both he and Henderson have autographed each of the two limited edition 23 ½” x 31” lithographs in this wonderful lot. Certificates of authenticity are included for each of the two lithographs, Nos. 0680 and 0728 in the limited edition of 1,972 produced which display a 16” x 20 ½” image from the original negative developed on September 28, 1972. A collection of more than 150 original “Relive the Dream” programs from the three-game 15th anniversary exhibition series in 1987 completes this lot.
