EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1970s when rugby union was making its mark on American soil. The image captures the essence of a nation embracing a new sporting passion as hooker John J Hanson showcases his skills during training at Enstone, Oxon. With determination etched across his face, Hanson epitomizes the dedication and commitment required to excel in this fast-paced and physically demanding sport. Clad in his scrum cap, he stands out amongst his teammates, symbolizing the growing influence of rugby within America's sporting landscape. However, as the caption suggests, change is imminent for Hanson. As he prepares for an upcoming six-match tour against the Civil Service at Gloucester, it becomes apparent that even though Americans have embraced rugby with style and enthusiasm, certain adjustments must be made to align with traditional norms. This includes changing his scrum cap before taking on their opponents. This photograph not only highlights one young man's journey into a relatively unknown territory but also serves as a testament to the power of sports in bridging cultures and uniting individuals under a common goal. It encapsulates an era where rugby began carving its place among other popular American sports while reminding us of our ability to adapt and embrace new experiences. Memory Lane Prints has beautifully captured this momentous period in history through their lens - showcasing both athleticism and cultural transformation within one frame.
