GEORGE EASTHAM, FOOTBALLER WITH NEWCASTLE UTD FROM 1956 TO NOVEMBER 1960.
George Eastham hailed from a noted footballing family - as did both White and Allchurch - and was the youngest of the trio. He quickly blossomed into a midfield talent destined for the top. Yet this magical threesome could not stop Uniteds decline and relegation. By the time that happened, Eastham had fallen into major dispute not only with United but also footballs authorities over an antiquated transfer system - all to end up in the High Court and victory for the player.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary George Eastham during his time as a footballer with Newcastle United from 1956 to November 1960. Hailing from a family deeply rooted in football, Eastham was the youngest of a trio that included White and Allchurch. With immense talent and skill, he quickly emerged as a midfield prodigy destined for greatness. Unfortunately, even the magic created by this talented threesome couldn't prevent United's decline and eventual relegation. However, it was during this tumultuous period that Eastham found himself embroiled in a major dispute not only with his club but also with football authorities over an outdated transfer system. In an extraordinary turn of events, Eastham took his case all the way to the High Court where he emerged victorious against both United and football's governing bodies. This landmark victory forever changed the landscape of player transfers in English football. The photograph itself exudes nostalgia, capturing the essence of 1950s sports venues and showcasing Newcastle United's rich history. Published by ncjMedia Ltd under their Memory Lane Prints collection, this image serves as a reminder of George Eastham's remarkable journey as one of England's most influential footballers during that era.
