EDITORS COMMENTS
In a rare moment of camaraderie, the four football league champions from Lancashire gather for a friendly game of chess. Tommy Smith of Liverpool, Martin Dobson of Burnley, Warwick Rimmer of Bolton, and John McPhee representing Southport engage in an intense battle of wits amidst their fierce on-field rivalries. Captured in this iconic print by Bradley Ormesher is the unique bond shared by these talented athletes off the pitch. As they strategize over each move on the chessboard, their competitive spirit gives way to laughter and friendship. After an exhilarating match, the footballers raise a toast with champagne to celebrate not only their own achievements but also that of another Lancashire champion - Red Rum. The legendary racehorse's image adorns the stable wall behind them as they honor his triumph at the Grand National. This snapshot from April 6th, 1973 encapsulates both sporting excellence and unity within Lancashire's footballing community. It serves as a reminder that even amidst fierce competition, there can be moments where rivals come together to appreciate each other's talents and share in mutual respect. Bradley Ormesher's photograph immortalizes this extraordinary gathering, capturing not just a moment frozen in time but also the essence of sportsmanship and celebration.
