EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of winter sports in the 1950s. Alf Cannon, a talented goalkeeper for the hockey team at Laings Sports Club, fearlessly takes on his opponents on a snowy sports ground. The determination etched on his face is evident as he skillfully maneuvers through the icy terrain. This particular image holds historical significance as it was featured in the April 1956 edition of Laings monthly Team Spirit newsletter. Alf's outstanding performance earned him a spot in the Sports Personality section, showcasing his exceptional athletic abilities and dedication to multiple sports. Not only was Alf an integral part of the hockey team, but he also held prestigious roles such as opening captain and vice-captain of the cricket team. His versatility extended beyond these two sports, as he proved himself to be a formidable tennis player by winning the men's doubles annual tournament in 1954. The photograph beautifully encapsulates both sport and recreation during this era. It serves as a testament to not only Alf's sporting achievements but also to all those who braved harsh weather conditions to pursue their passion for outdoor activities.
