EDITORS COMMENTS
Wash day high jinks at The Hawthorns in 1967-68 - all part of the more relaxed environment cultivated by Alan Ashman. This charming print captures a delightful moment from the past, showcasing the camaraderie and playful spirit among football players during their downtime. In this snapshot frozen in time on May 9th, 1968, we see five West Bromwich Albion players engrossed in checking on their powder requirements for an upcoming match. Graham Williams, John Talbut, Doug Fraser, John Kaye, and Bobby Hope stand side by side with mischievous grins on their faces as they prepare themselves for battle on the field. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia for the swinging sixties era when life was simpler yet filled with vibrant energy. It reflects a time when footballers were not only known for their skills but also celebrated for their personalities off the pitch. This photograph is a testament to how Alan Ashman's leadership fostered an atmosphere where players could relax and enjoy each other's company even during mundane tasks like laundry day. It reminds us that amidst intense competition and rigorous training sessions, there were moments of lightheartedness that brought joy to these athletes' lives. Whether you're a fan of West Bromwich Albion or simply appreciate vintage sports photography, this Memory Lane Print transports you back to an era where bathing suits doubled as team uniforms and laughter echoed through locker rooms.
