EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 7th of June, 1973. The image captures a heartwarming moment as the F. C. Crusaders, an amateur football team from Leamington, bid farewell to their hometown with the help of esteemed guests. Standing proudly in the center is Councillor Reginald Hopkins, the Mayor of Leamington, who graciously lends his support to these young athletes embarking on an exciting adventure. Accompanying them on this journey is Claudia Raschke, a vibrant 21-year-old hailing from Uberlingen in Southern Germany. Her presence adds an air of international camaraderie and cultural exchange to this special occasion. The Regent Hotel serves as the backdrop for this sparkling send-off ceremony. As glasses filled with German wine are raised high in celebration and well-wishes for success abroad, one can sense both excitement and determination radiating from each member of the F. C. Crusaders. Their destination? Bruhl – Leamington's twin town nestled in Germany's picturesque landscapes. It is here that they will participate in a highly anticipated match against local competitors while immersing themselves in new experiences and forging lasting connections. This photograph encapsulates not only a significant moment for these passionate football players but also highlights the power of sports diplomacy and friendship across borders.
