EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print from 1989, we see Mark Kendall, the talented goalkeeper of Wolverhampton Wanderers, stepping out of his comfort zone for a great cause. Swapping his football strip for Bermuda shorts and a red nose, Mark wholeheartedly embraced the spirit of Comic Relief. Captured in Dudley, Mark visited the Lunn Poly travel shop located in Churchill Precinct to lend his support to the nationwide charity appeal. To further amplify awareness and raise funds for Comic Relief, he even sported a pair of giant sunglasses that added an element of fun to his ensemble. As part of this charitable endeavor, Lunn Poly had specially produced holiday postcard packs available for purchase. Each sale contributed towards supporting Comic Relief's noble mission. It was heartwarming to witness how people from different walks of life came together during these events in the 1980s. Mark Kendall's dedication to both football and philanthropy shines through this image captured by Birmingham Post and Mail Archive. His willingness to step outside his role as a professional player demonstrates not only his commitment but also highlights the power sports figures have in making positive change within their communities. This snapshot serves as a reminder that even amidst intense competition on the field, athletes can unite behind important causes off it – using their influence and popularity as catalysts for social good.
