EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, captured by Bradley Ormesher, we are transported back to the historic day of August 6th, 1996. The iconic St James Park in Newcastle is buzzing with excitement as the city's beloved football club welcomes their new signing - the legendary Alan Shearer. As the image unfolds before our eyes, we witness a heartwarming scene where Shearer stands amidst a sea of passionate fans. With arms outstretched and an infectious smile on his face, he graciously greets each supporter who eagerly waits to catch a glimpse of their hero. The atmosphere is electric; you can almost feel the energy radiating from both sides. The crowd's enthusiasm is palpable as they proudly display their loyalty to the Toon Army. It's moments like these that remind us why football holds such immense power in bringing people together. This particular photograph serves as a testament to Shearer's immense popularity and impact on Newcastle United Football Club during that era. Notably, it also symbolizes his record-breaking transfer fee of £15 million - an astonishing figure at that time. Bradley Ormesher has skillfully immortalized this significant moment in history through his lens. This print not only captures the essence of sheer joy but also allows us to relive those cherished memories from one of English football's most celebrated eras: the vibrant 1990s.
