EDITORS COMMENTS
This heartwarming print captures the Little Downham Boys Team, a group of spirited 10-year-olds from Downham Foeffees Junior School in Cambridgeshire. Taken on a chilly winter day, December 2nd, 1973, this image showcases their resilience and determination as they proudly pose for the camera. Despite rarely tasting victory on the football field, these boys have triumphed in another way - winning the prestigious Daily Mirror School Team of the Month award for November. Coached by their dedicated headmaster Tony Hurlin, this team has shown remarkable perseverance and originality in their approach to the game. Dressed in their brand new football strip and clutching a shiny match ball that symbolizes hope and endless possibilities, these young athletes stand tall amidst a snowy backdrop. Their faces radiate excitement and pride as they bask in this well-deserved recognition. The photograph not only reflects an era when boys' teams were prevalent but also encapsulates the essence of childhood camaraderie and sportsmanship. It serves as a reminder that success is not always measured solely by victories but also by passion, dedication, and unity. Decades later, this timeless image continues to evoke nostalgia for those who were part of or witnessed such moments during physical education classes at school. Preserved through Mike Manni's lens with utmost care and attention to detail, it immortalizes an unforgettable chapter in these boys' lives – one filled with dreams pursued against all odds.
