EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1970s, capturing a moment of playful camaraderie among England's footballers. Dressed in impeccable suits, complete with bowler hats and holding umbrellas, they pay homage to the iconic character John Steed from the British spy series The Avengers. This unique snapshot was taken ahead of their European Championships Quarter Final second leg international match against West Germany at Wembley on May 9th, 1972. From left to right, we see Rodney Marsh exuding charm and confidence as he stands alongside the legendary Bobby Moore. Martin Peters and Martin Chivers complete this quartet of gentlemen who epitomize style and grace both on and off the field. The image captures not only their sartorial elegance but also hints at their determination to succeed in sport. As they pose together in Saville Row-inspired attire, it is evident that these footballers were more than just athletes; they were symbols of sophistication amidst a backdrop of intense competition. This photograph serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era when sportsmanship went hand-in-hand with gentlemanly conduct. It showcases how even within the realm of professional football, there was room for creativity and lightheartedness. Preserved by Kent Gavin's lens for Memory Lane Prints, this remarkable image allows us to relive a moment where fashion met sport - where four extraordinary men became timeless icons through their love for both football and fancy dress.
