Stanley Bowles salutes the fans. And they salute back. It happens often to King Stan at Queens Park Rangers... but this time hes getting the treatment from Manchester United supporters. Not for missing that penalty not for that booking... but simply for getting up and getting on with the game after lying injured for two minutes... while they yelled and jeered. Must have been the his of life, Stan! September 1975 P03863

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a remarkable moment of sportsmanship and resilience. Stanley Bowles, the beloved King Stan of Queens Park Rangers, stands tall on the pitch as he salutes the fans. And in an extraordinary display of admiration and respect, they salute him back. This heartwarming scene is not uncommon for King Stan at his home ground, where he has often been showered with adoration from loyal supporters. However, this time it's different - he finds himself amidst Manchester United supporters who have temporarily set aside their team allegiances to acknowledge his incredible spirit. The reason behind this unexpected tribute lies in a defining moment during the match. Despite enduring two minutes of injury-induced agony while being subjected to relentless jeers and taunts from opposing fans, Stanley Bowles refuses to succumb to pain or provocation. Instead, he rises above it all and carries on with unwavering determination. It must have been an experience that encapsulated the essence of life itself for Stan - facing adversity head-on and emerging stronger than ever before. This photograph captures not only a fleeting gesture between player and fan but also serves as a timeless reminder of human resilience in the face of adversity. Taken in September 1975 by Mirrorpix during a decade renowned for its passion for football, this image immortalizes an unforgettable moment that transcends rivalries and showcases the true beauty of sport – unity through mutual respect.
