The mural on Kate Street has become somewhat of a tourist attraction over the past week.
When I went to see it there were lots of other people there taking photos.
With the addition of 11 player faces the painting will stretch across the whole wall.
The artist, Richard Wilson, says on his website that he will be coming back soon to do it. He called it a "huge project" but says he "can't wait to start".
He expects it to take about a month to complete.
