EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to February 1963, where we witness the extraordinary sight of Bobby Tambling, Chelsea and England's high-earning forward at the time. Despite his impressive earnings of £60 per week (a substantial sum for that era), Tambling chooses to take public transport to work from his humble abode in Malden, Surrey. The image captures a remarkable juxtaposition between fame and humility as Tambling stands among fellow commuters on their daily journey. His presence undoubtedly catches the attention of those around him who recognize this football icon amidst their midst. Yet, there is no air of arrogance or entitlement about him; instead, he blends seamlessly into the crowd with an unassuming demeanor. This photograph not only showcases Tambling's down-to-earth nature but also highlights a different era when even renowned sports stars chose practicality over luxury. It serves as a reminder that success does not always equate to ostentatious displays or extravagant lifestyles. F. W Reed skillfully captures this moment in history, freezing it forever within this stunning print. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of both the simplicity and complexity of life during the 1960s – an era characterized by change and progress yet still grounded in tradition and modesty.
