EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary Horst Blankenburg during a training session at Roehampton in the 1972/1973 football season. Blankenburg, hailing from Holland and renowned for his time with Ajax, showcases his exceptional skills and dedication to the sport. Taken on March 1st, 1973, this image holds historical significance as it was captured on the same day that a momentous match took place at Wembley Stadium. The match served as a celebration of the United Kingdom's entry into the European Economic Community (EEC), now known as the European Union. Representing their respective groups were "The Three" - Denmark, Republic of Ireland, and United Kingdom - against "The Six" which represented established Common Market countries. In an exhilarating display of talent and teamwork, "The Three" emerged victorious with a resounding 2-0 win over their opponents. This triumph not only showcased their prowess but also symbolized unity among nations through sportsmanship. Photographed by Colorsport's Andrew Cowie, this stunning image encapsulates both Blankenburg's individual brilliance and his contribution to this historic event. As we admire this print today, let us remember how sports can transcend borders and bring people together in celebration of shared values and aspirations.
