EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the thrilling match between Newcastle United and Oldham Athletic on August 18,1979. The image captures a pivotal moment in the game when Alan Shoulder, one of Newcastle's local heroes, confidently steps up to take a penalty kick. With unwavering focus and determination, he expertly strikes the ball into the net, securing one of his two goals in this memorable encounter. Shoulder's rise to fame is truly remarkable. Having exchanged his career as a coal miner for football stardom, he became Peter Withe's perfect partner on the field. Their partnership was reminiscent of "The Little and Large Show" with Shoulder's diminutive stature complementing Withe's commanding presence. Together, they formed an unstoppable force that brought joy to fans' hearts and terrorized opposing defenses. In this particular season alone, their dynamic duo contributed an impressive tally of 59 goals for Newcastle United. This photograph encapsulates not only Shoulder’s incredible talent but also highlights Mick Martin watching intently from afar as history unfolds before him. As we gaze upon this nostalgic snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a time when football was pure passion and dedication reigned supreme.
