EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant era of the 1960s, where two iconic institutions, The Football Association and British Leyland, unite with the Daily Mirror Car Rally. This extraordinary collaboration saw British Leyland proudly enter three cars adorned with the prestigious FA emblem. At the heart of this remarkable image stands Paddy Hopkirk, a true champion rally driver, clutching The Jules Rimet Trophy - also known as the Football World Cup Trophy. His triumphant pose exudes confidence and skill that made him an unforgettable figure in motorsport history. Flanking Hopkirk on either side are legendary football figures who need no introduction: Geoff Hurst and Sir Alf Ramsey. Their presence adds an air of excitement and prestige to this momentous occasion. To complete this illustrious gathering is Lord Stokes - Donald Stokes himself - standing tall amongst these esteemed personalities at the Motor Show in October 1969. This photograph encapsulates not only a unique partnership between sports and automotive giants but also represents a snapshot of an era filled with ambition, innovation, and national pride. It serves as a testament to how sport can bring people together from different walks of life for a common purpose – celebrating excellence in both football and rallying. Captured by Monte Fresco for Memory Lane Prints, this timeless image transports us back to an exhilarating time when dreams were chased on both race tracks and football pitches alike.
