EDITORS COMMENTS
In this snapshot from August 8th, 1968, we are transported back to the vibrant world of football at Birmingham City's ground. The image showcases two dedicated individuals who played a crucial role behind the scenes: Graham Plank, a diligent member of the ground staff, and Ray Devey, the esteemed first team trainer. The focus is on Graham Plank as he meticulously cleans boots in what appears to be the bustling boot room. With utmost care and attention to detail, he ensures that each player's footwear is immaculate for the highly anticipated kick-off. As his hands move swiftly across the leather surfaces, one can almost feel his dedication and pride in maintaining these essential tools of their trade. Standing beside him is Ray Devey, donning an expression of assurance as he inspects each cleaned boot. A trusted figure within Birmingham City's coaching staff, Devey understands that even small details like well-maintained boots contribute to players' confidence on match day. This photograph encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents the unwavering commitment and teamwork required behind every successful football club. It serves as a reminder that while players may take center stage during matches, it is often those working tirelessly off-field who enable them to shine brightest. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints from Birmingham Post and Mail Archive, this evocative image transports us back to an era when passion for sport was palpable both on and off the pitch.
