EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic photo print, we are transported back to September 1958, capturing a heartfelt moment between Torquay United manager Eric Webber and Peter Wakeham. As the club bids farewell to Wakeham, their paths diverge, but the memory of their time together remains etched in history. The image exudes an air of bygones and flashback as it takes us back to the vibrant football scene of the 1950s in England's South West. Dressed in his tracksuit, Webber stands on the right side of the frame while extending his hand towards Wakeham who is elegantly dressed in a suit. The contrast between their attire symbolizes both their roles within the club - one as a player bidding adieu and another as a mentor guiding him through this transition. This photograph captures not only a significant moment for Torquay United but also showcases the camaraderie and respect shared among players and managers during that era. It serves as a reminder of how sport can bring people together despite inevitable departures or changes. As we delve into this snapshot from Devon's sporting history, we are reminded of its timeless charm. This piece from Mirrorpix encapsulates an era when football was more than just a game; it was about forging lasting connections and leaving behind legacies that would be cherished for generations to come.
