EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the 1962/1963 football season where Northampton Town faced off against Shrewsbury Town in the Third Division. The image captures three iconic figures of Northampton's team - John Reid, Frank Large, and Barry Lines - standing side by side at Gay Meadow. The camaraderie between these players is palpable as they exude confidence and determination. John Reid's piercing gaze reflects his unwavering focus on the game ahead. Frank Large stands tall with a sense of authority, ready to lead his teammates into battle. Meanwhile, Barry Lines' infectious smile hints at his passion for the sport. What makes this moment even more remarkable is that it marks a significant achievement for Barry Lines. As history was made on that day, he became the first player ever to score goals in all four divisions for the same club – an extraordinary feat that will forever be etched in football folklore. This print not only captures a specific match but also encapsulates an era when football was played with grit and determination rather than lavish contracts or commercial interests. It serves as a timeless reminder of the dedication and skill exhibited by these athletes who gave their all for their beloved club. Colorsport Images has once again preserved a precious piece of sporting history through this evocative photograph, allowing us to relive those glorious moments from yesteryears when legends were born on muddy pitches like Gay Meadow.
