EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Ernest Chapman, we are transported back to the 1960s, specifically the 7th of May in 1962. The Burnley football team, filled with anticipation and nerves, bid farewell to their beloved home town as they embark on a momentous journey towards London for the highly anticipated FA Cup Final. As they prepare to leave by coach, Chairman Bob Lord stands tall amongst them, his face etched with pride and determination. The image captures a poignant moment frozen in time - a snapshot of camaraderie and unity within the team. The players' expressions reveal a mix of excitement and focus as they prepare themselves mentally for what lies ahead. Their eyes gleam with ambition; their bodies exude an air of confidence that can only come from hours spent perfecting their craft on the pitch. Chairman Bob Lord's presence is both commanding and reassuring. With one hand raised in farewell gesture while clutching his hat tightly in the other, he embodies unwavering support for his team. His gaze follows each player as if silently conveying words of encouragement before they take flight from Ringway Airport to conquer new heights at Wembley Stadium. This photograph not only immortalizes an important chapter in Burnley Football Club's history but also serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit that fuels every sportsman's heart. It reminds us all that behind every successful team stands dedicated individuals who believe in their collective strength - ready to battle against any odds
