In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of Filbert Street in August 1972. The image captures the momentous occasion when Frank Worthington, a true cult hero of his time, signed for Leicester FC under the watchful eye of his new manager Jimmy Bloomfield. The picture exudes an undeniable sense of excitement and anticipation as Worthington stands alongside Bloomfield on the hallowed grounds of Filbert Street. Both men wear expressions that reflect their shared enthusiasm for this significant transfer. Worthington's long hair cascades down his shoulders, embodying the fashion trends and rebellious spirit synonymous with the 1970s. The stadium itself serves as a powerful backdrop to this historic moment. Its towering floodlights illuminate the scene while providing a glimpse into a bygone era in football history. The grandstands teem with eager fans eagerly awaiting their first glimpse of their new star player. Dick Williams skillfully captures not only the visual details but also manages to convey an intangible energy within this photograph.
