EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Albert Cooper, we are transported back to the 12th of November in 1968. The image showcases Leeds United coach Syd Owens standing amidst a group of visitors from Naples, all donning their striking blue shirts. The atmosphere in the dressing room is filled with anticipation and perhaps a hint of confusion. The photograph holds a deeper significance as it recalls an incident that occurred during a game against Standard Liege. Both teams had turned out in white kits, causing utter chaos on the field. Determined not to repeat such disarray, Coach Owens can be seen discussing fervently with his visitors about their choice of attire. Leeds United's encounter with Standard Liege must have left an indelible mark on Coach Owens' mind, prompting him to ensure that history would not repeat itself. This snapshot captures his unwavering commitment to avoiding any further color clashes or misunderstandings on the football pitch. Cooper's photograph transports us back to an era when football was played without technological aids and where one man's decision could significantly impact the outcome of a match. It serves as a reminder that even amidst the excitement and passion for sport, meticulous attention to detail is crucial for smooth operations both on and off the field. This remarkable image from Memory Lane Prints encapsulates not only sporting history but also highlights how small details like team colors can play pivotal roles in shaping memorable moments within our beloved game of football.
