EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a chilly winter day in 1988, where the Wimbledon Football Club players were engaged in an intense training session. The focus of this snapshot is none other than the talented goalkeeper, Dave Beasant. Dressed in his tracksuit and sporting a woolly hat to combat the cold, Beasant exudes determination and concentration as he prepares for what would become a historic year for Wimbledon. Little did anyone know at that time that just a few months later, in May 1988, Wimbledon would achieve an extraordinary feat by winning the FA Cup. This victory would forever be etched into football history as they defeated Liverpool with a remarkable score of 1-0 in an unforgettable final match. Leading his team both on and off the field, Beasant played a pivotal role by captaining his side and making a crucial save from a Liverpool penalty. As we gaze upon this image captured on January 15th, it's impossible not to appreciate the muddy surroundings that epitomize the grit and determination required in such rigorous training sessions. The ball lies motionless on the ground while Beasant strikes an imposing pose - ready to face any challenge thrown his way. Photographer Chris Grieve has skillfully frozen this moment from decades ago through Memory Lane Prints, allowing us to relive this significant period of football history when underdogs triumphed against all odds.
