West Bromwich Albion Players, Cyrille Regis and Derek Statham wearing fancy dress
West Bromwich Albion Players, Cyrille Regis and Derek Statham wearing fancy dress costumes in dressing room, 26th October 1983. The WBA players know all about birds and bees. England international Cyrille certainly has a sting in his tail. For he is well known for making feathers fly in the opposition defence when he buzzes around in sight of the goal. But team mate Derek could not be accused of burying his head in the sand - or getting his legs in a twist. For the Albion defender soon hopes to be back on the field following injury. The dynamic duo indulged in a little horseplay when they dressed up as a bumble bee and an ostrich

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1983, we catch a glimpse of the playful side of West Bromwich Albion players Cyrille Regis and Derek Statham. Dressed in whimsical fancy dress costumes, these football stars bring a touch of humor to the dressing room. Cyrille Regis, an England international known for his lightning-fast moves on the field, dons a bumblebee outfit that perfectly captures his buzzing energy during matches. With his remarkable agility and goal-scoring prowess, he certainly knows how to make feathers fly in the opposition defense. On the other hand, Derek Statham showcases his lighthearted nature by transforming into an ostrich. Despite being sidelined due to injury at that time, this Albion defender refuses to bury his head in the sand or let himself get tangled up in disappointment. Instead, he eagerly awaits his return to action on the field. The dynamic duo's choice of costumes reflects their camaraderie and willingness to embrace fun off the pitch. Their horseplay not only brings smiles but also highlights their genuine bond as teammates. This delightful photograph captured by Paul Pester takes us back to a nostalgic era when footballers weren't afraid to show their lighter side amidst intense competition. It serves as a reminder that even professional athletes can find joy in dressing up and indulging in some well-deserved playfulness outside their sporting endeavors.
