EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by John Varley, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of Salonike in 1973. Leeds United players, adorned in their iconic white jerseys, encounter a local man with an extraordinary moustache as they explore the town before their momentous European Cup Winners Cup Final match against AC Milan. The image captures a unique blend of camaraderie and curiosity as the players engage with the mustachioed gentleman. Their expressions reflect admiration for his impressive facial hair, which was undoubtedly a symbol of fashion and individuality during that era. Little did they know that this encounter would be etched into history alongside their valiant efforts on the pitch. Unfortunately, fate had other plans for Leeds United that day. Despite showcasing remarkable skill and determination throughout the game at Kaftanzoglio Stadium in Thessaloniki, Greece, they were met with controversial decisions from Greek referee Christos Michas. Ultimately, Leeds lost 0-1 to AC Milan in what can only be described as a heart-wrenching defeat. Nevertheless, this photograph serves as a nostalgic reminder of both triumphs and tribulations experienced by these football legends during one unforgettable May evening in 1973. It encapsulates not just sporting prowess but also moments of connection between locals and visitors alike – bridging cultures through shared appreciation for fashion trends like extravagant moustaches. John Varley's timeless snapshot transports us back to an era where facial hair became more than just personal style; it became emblem
