EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Charlie Ley, we are transported back to the 1962 World Cup Finals as we witness the England football team at London Airport before their departure to Santiago, Chile. The anticipation and excitement in the air is palpable as players prepare for their journey ahead. Amongst the hustle and bustle of pre-flight preparations, two teammates catch our attention. England forward Jimmy Greaves and his teammate Jimmy Armfield can be seen trying on a pair of sunglasses in a shop within the airport. With smiles on their faces, they playfully model these stylish accessories, adding a touch of charm to an otherwise serious moment. This snapshot captures not only a historical event but also showcases the fashion trends of that era. The 1960s were known for their distinctive clothing styles, and this image perfectly encapsulates it with its display of sharp suits and fashionable jackets worn by the players. As we admire this photograph, we cannot help but imagine ourselves being present during that time - witnessing these iconic athletes preparing for one of football's most prestigious tournaments. It serves as a reminder of how sports have always had an incredible ability to bring people together across borders and cultures. Charlie Ley's work allows us to relive moments like these through his skillful lens. This particular print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back in time while celebrating both sporting history and fashion trends from decades past.
