EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to December 1969 in Fennell Street, Manchester. The image captures a unique moment during the visit of South African Rugby Union team to Sauna baths, where two influential figures meet face to face amidst the steamy atmosphere. Corrie Bornman, representing the Springboks with pride and determination, stands tall on one side of the sauna while Joe Mercer, renowned manager of Manchester City Football Club, exudes confidence on the other. The contrast between these two sporting giants is striking - Bornman symbolizing strength and physicality as a rugby player while Mercer embodies strategic thinking and leadership skills as a football manager. Their meeting at this unexpected location showcases their shared commitment towards fitness and health beyond their respective sports. This intriguing photograph not only captures an extraordinary encounter but also provides us with a glimpse into the vibrant sporting scene of the 1960s. It serves as a reminder that even off-field moments can shape relationships and foster mutual respect among individuals who excel in different disciplines. As we admire this vintage snapshot frozen in time, it invites us to reflect on how sport transcends boundaries and unites people from diverse backgrounds through shared passions.
