EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to April 1975 at Brisbane Road. The image captures the intense atmosphere of a league match between Bristol City and Leyton Orient, as two iconic managers stand on the touchline. On the right stands Alan Dicks, the esteemed Bristol City manager, exuding determination and focus despite the unexpected interruption caused by a light failure. Beside him is his counterpart George Petchey, manager of Leyton Orient, both men locked in a silent battle of wits amidst the chaos unfolding on the pitch. The photograph perfectly encapsulates their contrasting emotions; Dicks' stern expression revealing his frustration while Petchey's calm demeanor suggests he may have found an advantage in this unforeseen turn of events. The significance of this moment lies not only in its disruption but also in its impact on the final score: Leyton Orient emerged victorious with a narrow 1-0 win over Bristol City. This snapshot freezes time during a pivotal match that will forever be etched into football history. Alan Olley's expertly captured image transports us back to an era where floodlights were still prone to failure and adds another layer of nostalgia to this already evocative scene from Memory Lane Prints.
