EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and historic print captured by Paul Massey, we witness a dramatic moment that forever changed the life of Manchester City player Paul Lake. The image freezes time as Lake is being stretchered off the pitch at Maine Road during a clash with Leicester City's Paul Ramsey in the 1980s. The intensity of the scene is palpable as concern and worry fill the faces of players, staff, and spectators alike. It was a collision that left Lake unconscious, his body limp on the stretcher. However, amidst this distressing situation emerged an unsung hero - Manchester City trainer Roy Bailey. Bailey's quick thinking and expertise proved to be nothing short of miraculous when he saved Lake's life by hooking his tongue out of his throat after it had been swallowed during the incident. This act prevented choking and ensured immediate medical attention could be provided. This photograph not only captures a pivotal moment in football history but also serves as a testament to human resilience and compassion within sports. It reminds us that even amid fierce competition, there exists an unwavering commitment to protect one another's well-being. As we reflect on this poignant image from Memory Lane Prints, let us remember both the fragility and strength inherent in our shared humanity.
