EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a momentous day in football history - the photocall at Old Trafford for the triumphant Manchester United team. It was a celebration of their remarkable victory over Benfica in the European Cup Final, held at Wembley Stadium in May of 1968. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see George Best, an iconic figure who personified skill and flair on the football pitch. Surrounded by a swarm of photographers, he stands tall as the center of attention. The intensity is palpable as flashes illuminate his face, capturing every detail that made him such a revered player. The image transports us to an era when media coverage was not as pervasive as it is today. These press photographers were entrusted with immortalizing moments like these – moments that would become part of sporting folklore for generations to come. Alfred Markey's expert lensmanship captures not only the essence of this historic event but also encapsulates an entire decade within one frame. This photograph serves as a testament to both the artistry behind sports photography and its ability to preserve cherished memories. As we gaze upon this piece from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded not only of Manchester United's glorious triumph but also how sport has always possessed an unparalleled power to captivate hearts and minds around the world.
