EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Taking a breather" we are transported back to the summer of 1984, where Coventry City FC's new midfield man Martin Jol and Banbury-born Martin Singleton take a much-needed break during their pre-season training. The image captures a moment of respite as these dedicated athletes rest and recharge amidst their rigorous preparations for the upcoming football season. Both players can be seen lying down, seemingly deep in thought or perhaps catching their breath after an intense training session. Their relaxed postures reflect the physical demands they endure on a daily basis, highlighting the commitment required to excel in professional sports. The backdrop showcases Coventry City FC's training ground, providing glimpses of other players engrossed in their own routines. The presence of Glazepta sponsorship is subtly visible on the kit worn by Jol and Singleton, symbolizing the support received from local businesses that fuelled the team's ambitions. Photographer John Bassett skillfully captures this intimate moment between teammates, emphasizing not only their physical exertion but also their camaraderie and shared determination. This timeless image serves as a testament to the dedication and hard work necessary for success in football while offering us a nostalgic glimpse into Coventry City FC's history during this iconic era of sport.
