EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print from 1960, we witness the Spanish football team engaging in an intense training session at the prestigious Bank of England Club ground in Roehampton, London. The dedicated men can be seen circling the field tirelessly, partaking in what is known as free training - a testament to their commitment and determination. Amongst these skilled athletes stands Alfredo Di Stefano, a legendary figure in football history. After completing the grueling workout, Di Stefano takes a moment to step onto the scales for his weigh-in. With towel draped over his shoulder and sweat glistening on his brow, he demonstrates both physical prowess and discipline. This image encapsulates not only the spirit of sport but also highlights the international camaraderie that transcends borders. As Spain's national team trains on foreign soil, they leave an indelible mark on British grounds with their unwavering dedication. Charlie Ley's expertly captured photograph transports us back to this significant moment in time when football was more than just a game; it was a symbol of unity and passion shared by nations worldwide. This remarkable piece serves as a cherished reminder of an era where sportsmanship knew no boundaries.
