EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the morning after Derby manager Brian Clough's team achieved a remarkable victory against Crystal Palace at the iconic baseball ground. It is October 30th, 1969, and as the sun gently filters through the office window, we find Brian Clough deep in thought. With a cigarette delicately held between his fingers, Clough ponders over the league cup draw. The lines etched on his face tell tales of determination and passion for football - qualities that have made him one of the most revered figures in British football history. As smoke swirls around him, it seems almost symbolic of his strategic mind working tirelessly to plan his next move. His eyes gaze into an unknown distance; perhaps he envisions future triumphs or contemplates ways to further elevate his team's success. This image encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also captures an era when smoking was still commonplace within sporting environments. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed since then while simultaneously evoking nostalgia for those who remember these bygone days. Through this photograph, Mirrorpix invites us to reflect upon both the personal introspection of Brian Clough and the broader cultural context surrounding sports during that period.
