EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1966, we see Pickles the dog, a remarkable Mixed Breed Collie, basking in his newfound fame as the hero who recovered the missing World Cup. The morning after his triumphant discovery on March 27th, Pickles is captured here playing with a football in the serene garden of his proud owners David and Jeanne Corbett. With an undeniable twinkle in his eyes and an infectious enthusiasm for the game, Pickles showcases his impressive footballing skills. His agile movements and boundless energy demonstrate just how deserving he is of being hailed as a true sporting legend. This snapshot not only immortalizes Pickles' extraordinary contribution to solving one of history's most notorious crimes but also highlights the unbreakable bond between humans and their four-legged companions. It serves as a reminder that even ordinary beings can accomplish extraordinary feats when driven by determination and loyalty. Photographer Peter Stone expertly captures this momentous occasion, transporting us back to a time when sportsmanship was celebrated with pure joy. As we gaze upon this image from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of Pickles' unwavering spirit and forever indebted to him for ensuring that football's most coveted prize found its way back home.
