EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from June 1981, we are transported back to a significant moment in football history. The image showcases an esteemed group of individuals inspecting the freshly laid turf at Loftus Road, the renowned home ground of Queens Park Rangers. From left to right, we see Chelsea goalkeeper Peter Barota, Barry Davis representing Omniturf, Terry Venables of QPR, and Mike Leach from Chelsea. The atmosphere is palpable as these influential figures gather around the newly installed artificial grass pitch. Their expressions reveal a mixture of excitement and curiosity as they meticulously examine every inch of the innovative playing surface. This groundbreaking development in football technology would revolutionize the sport for years to come. The photograph captures a pivotal era in sports history - the 1980s - when advancements were being made across various industries. It serves as a reminder that progress extends beyond traditional boundaries and even reaches into beloved pastimes like football. This remarkable image was captured by Daily Mirror's talented photographers who expertly freeze-framed this historic moment on Memory Lane Prints. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but appreciate how far both technology and sports have evolved since that fateful day in 1981.
