EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a historic football match between Stoke City and Chelsea in the 1973/1974 First Division. The image captures a poignant moment before kick-off at the Victoria Ground, as two former teammates turned rivals, John Hollins of Chelsea and Alan Hudson of Stoke City, come face to face. As the captains of their respective teams, Hollins (#4) and Hudson share a handshake that speaks volumes about their shared history. Both players had once donned the blue jersey of Chelsea together but now find themselves on opposite sides of the pitch. This encounter marks only Hudson's second game for Stoke after his move from Chelsea just weeks prior. The photograph not only freezes this significant moment in time but also encapsulates the camaraderie and respect that exists among professional athletes. It serves as a reminder that even amidst fierce competition, friendships forged on the field can endure beyond team allegiances. Colorsport photographer Andrew Cowie expertly captures every detail with precision, allowing us to relive this iconic sporting event decades later. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of football history, we are reminded of how sports have an unparalleled ability to unite individuals while simultaneously fueling intense rivalries.
