EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print by Henry How, we are transported back to the 1950s, a time when footballers were not only revered on the pitch but also celebrated off it. Nottingham Forest centre forward Tommy Wilson and goalkeeper Chic Thomson take center stage as they stroll along the picturesque promenade at Brighton. Accompanied by their respective wives, this delightful image captures a moment of pure joy and relaxation for these sporting heroes. It was a sunny Sunday in May 1959, just days after Nottingham Forest's second FA Cup triumph in history. To commemorate this monumental achievement, the club organized a special outing for its players and their families to enjoy a day at the seaside. The atmosphere is palpable as smiles light up everyone's faces - from the footballers' proud expressions to their elegant wives radiating happiness. The simplicity of this photograph speaks volumes about an era where fame did not overshadow personal connections. It reminds us that even amidst success and adulation, these athletes cherished moments with loved ones above all else. As they leisurely walk hand-in-hand along Brighton's promenade, one can almost feel the warmth of camaraderie shared between teammates turned friends. Henry How has beautifully captured both the spirit of celebration and nostalgia within this single frame. This Memory Lane Print serves as a timeless reminder of an unforgettable chapter in Nottingham Forest's history while offering us a glimpse into an era where family values remained at football's core.
