Anfield Club Clubs Crown Paints Sponsorship 1982
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Stephen Shakeshaft, we are transported back to the 1980s, specifically to September 29th, 1982. The image showcases a poignant moment in football history as Terry McDermott bids farewell to his beloved Liverpool Football Club. As he takes to the pitch for his last game, an air of nostalgia fills the empty stands of Anfield. The absence of cheering fans and roaring applause is a stark reminder that even legends like McDermott must eventually hang up their boots. However, despite the lack of spectators, there is an undeniable sense of pride and determination etched on McDermott's face. His commitment and passion for the sport radiate through every muscle as he gives it his all one final time. This photograph also serves as a testament to the era's sponsorship culture with prominent signage displaying "Crown Paints" subtly reminding us that football had already begun its journey towards commercialization. Yet amidst these external influences, it is ultimately about the players who embody their club's spirit and capture hearts along the way. Shakeshaft skillfully captures this significant moment in sports history with impeccable timing and composition. Through his lens, we not only witness Terry McDermott playing his last game but also feel a deep connection to Liverpool FC's rich legacy. This print truly encapsulates both the essence of sport in action and an iconic chapter in Liverpool FC's storied past
