EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a specimen corner kick taken from a groundbreaking goal shooting machine, invented by the innovative duo of Mr. Parkes, Notts County manager, and Mr. Richardson of Hinckley in 1946. The machine, a pioneering piece of soccer equipment, was designed to help young players hone their corner-kick technique during training sessions. The image showcases the machine in action, with the curved metal arm poised to launch the ball towards the goal. The ball, positioned at the end of the arm, is tautly held in place by a rubber band, ready to be propelled towards the target. The machine's design allows for a consistent and accurate ball delivery, providing an invaluable resource for coaches looking to improve their team's corner-kick abilities. The 1940s, a decade marked by innovation and progress, saw the introduction of numerous advancements in sports equipment. This goal shooting machine, a testament to the era's ingenuity, demonstrates how even the most mundane aspects of the game, such as corner kicks, could be enhanced through careful engineering and design. The boys in the background, eagerly watching the machine in action, no doubt dreaming of one day executing such precise corner kicks on the pitch, add an element of charm and nostalgia to the scene. This photograph not only serves as a fascinating glimpse into the history of soccer training equipment but also as a reminder of the enduring passion and dedication that drives the sport forward.
