EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from October 17th, 1988, we witness the multifaceted personality of Doug Ellis, Chairman of Aston Villa Football Club. While renowned for his business acumen and dedication to the sport, this image reveals a lesser-known side of Ellis - his passion for fishing. Standing tall with an air of accomplishment, Doug proudly displays his colossal catch: a magnificent 27-pound Salmon. This remarkable feat was achieved during a fruitful four-day expedition on the majestic River Tay in Scotland. But it doesn't end there; astonishingly, he managed to reel in thirteen more Salmon during this memorable trip. Returning home to Fouroaks in Sutton Coldfield, Doug poses alongside his prized fish collection. The joy radiating from his face is undeniable as he basks in the glory of both football success and personal triumphs on the riverbank. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the life beyond boardrooms and stadiums - where outdoor leisure activities intertwine with professional responsibilities. It showcases not only Ellis's entrepreneurial spirit but also highlights how hobbies can bring immense pride and happiness to even those at the helm of prestigious clubs like Aston Villa. Captured by Tim Easthope during an era defined by its vibrant energy and sporting achievements, this photograph immortalizes a moment when one man's love for fishing merged seamlessly with his role as chairman - reminding us that true fulfillment lies not only within our careers but also through pursuing our passions outside them.
