EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant era of the 1980s. John Scales, a prominent figure in Wimbledon Football Club, is captured on the team coach engrossed in The Evening Standard newspaper. Positioned beside him is his teammate, whose identity remains unknown but can be seen deeply immersed in Match Magazine. The picture was taken during an intriguing moment for Wimbledon FC on January 23rd, 1988. Whether they were en route to a game or training session remains uncertain; however, their focused expressions and quiet demeanor suggest a reflective atmosphere within the coach. This snapshot holds even greater significance when considering that just a few months later, in May of that same year, Wimbledon would achieve an extraordinary feat by winning the FA Cup against formidable favorites Liverpool with a stunning scoreline of 1-0. This triumph forever etched their names into football history and solidified their place as underdog heroes. As we observe John Scales absorbed in reading The Evening Standard while his companion delves into Match Magazine, we witness not only their dedication to staying informed about sports but also glimpse into the mindset and preparation required for such remarkable achievements. Mirrorpix has masterfully preserved this nostalgic image which encapsulates concentration amidst anticipation—a testament to the unwavering spirit of these athletes who defied all odds and left an indelible mark on British football culture.
