EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1945, two legendary English footballers, Stanley Matthews and Eddie Hapgood, take a momentary break from their round of golf. The image showcases the off-duty side of these sports icons as they indulge in a leisurely pastime amidst the backdrop of Germany. Both Matthews and Hapgood served in the Royal Air Force during World War II, highlighting their dedication to both country and sport. This snapshot captures them in a rare moment of relaxation, away from the pressures of their profession. The composition exudes an air of tranquility as Matthews and Hapgood stand on the picturesque golf course. Their posture suggests camaraderie and ease, emphasizing their shared passion for not only football but also golf. It is evident that even off duty, these men were driven by competition and athleticism. This print serves as a testament to the multifaceted nature of these sporting personalities.
