EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a historic moment in football as David Mills proudly becomes the sport's first-ever £500,000 reserve. The image captures the essence of determination and ambition that drove Mills to sign with West Bromwich Albion from Middlesbrough on that fateful Friday in January 1979. However, this groundbreaking deal was not without its challenges. For three long weeks, uncertainty loomed over the transfer as Mills underwent a second medical examination on his Achilles tendon. Despite these hurdles, the resilient 27-year-old emerged triumphant and ready to make his mark on both striker and midfield positions. Yet, joining an already exceptional team posed another obstacle for Mills. The Albion side had been performing brilliantly, leaving him facing an uphill battle to secure a spot in their ranks. Undeterred by this challenge, he boldly declared: "But I haven't come to play in the reserves". The photograph also showcases the jubilant moment when David Mills sealed his future alongside Albion manager Ron Atkinson. Their smiles radiate pure joy and anticipation for what lies ahead. This remarkable snapshot from Memory Lane Prints encapsulates not only a significant milestone in football history but also serves as a reminder of how passion and perseverance can propel individuals towards greatness within their chosen field.
