EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Tom Buist, we are transported back to the 1970s, capturing a lighthearted moment with Jimmy Montgomery, the legendary Sunderland goalkeeper. As he prepares for the highly anticipated FA Cup final against Leeds United in May 1973, Montgomery finds a moment of respite and amusement at Selsdon Park Hotel. With a beaming smile on his face, Montgomery playfully takes on the role of guardian for a croquet hoop. The juxtaposition between his formidable presence as a skilled goalkeeper and the whimsical nature of croquet creates an endearing image that showcases his versatility both on and off the field. The photograph exudes joy and camaraderie as it captures Montgomery's infectious sense of humor. It serves as a reminder that even amidst intense competition and high-stakes matches like the FA Cup final, athletes can find moments to let loose and have fun. As we reflect upon this historic match between Sunderland and Leeds United, where Sunderland emerged victorious with a scoreline of 1-0, this print becomes more than just an image frozen in time; it becomes emblematic of sportsmanship and resilience. Buist's expert composition transports us back to an era filled with nostalgia while immortalizing one footballer's playful spirit. This photograph is not only a testament to Jimmy Montgomery's talent but also serves as inspiration for future generations who strive to find joy in their pursuits both on and off the field.
