EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1980s, witnessing the intense training session of Wimbledon Football Club ahead of their highly anticipated FA Cup Final. The players can be seen pushing themselves to the limit, honing their skills and tactics in preparation for the monumental clash. Little did they know that their hard work would pay off immensely. On the 14th of May 1988, Wimbledon would go on to create history by defeating Liverpool with a stunning scoreline of 1-0 at Wembley Stadium. It was an extraordinary victory that left football enthusiasts in awe and cemented Wimbledon's place as true legends. Amidst all the excitement surrounding this iconic moment, manager John Fashanu takes a brief pause from his duties to interact with adoring fans. In this heartwarming snapshot captured on April 7th, 1988, Fashanu is seen graciously signing autographs for enthusiastic youngsters who idolize him as a hero. The image perfectly encapsulates not only Fashanu's dedication towards his supporters but also highlights how deeply rooted hero worship is within football culture. This photograph serves as a reminder of the profound impact sports heroes have on young minds and how these moments become cherished memories etched forever in our hearts. Chris Grieve has masterfully immortalized this significant chapter in sporting history through his lens, allowing us to relive those glorious days when underdogs triumphed against all odds.
