EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 4th of December 1971, witnessing an intense rugby union match between London Welsh and Aberavon. The setting is the iconic Old Deer Park ground in London, where history was about to be made. London Welsh emerged victorious that day, defeating their West Wales opponents with a final score of 18-8. The image captures a pivotal moment in the game as Aberavon skipper Ian Hall finds himself tackled by the formidable Welsh winger Jom Shanklin. However, Hall does not stand alone; he receives support from his teammates Peter Hunt and John Simonson whose long hair flows behind them as they rush forward. Beyond Hall lies British Lions captain John Dawes, observing the action unfold with keen interest. This snapshot encapsulates the raw energy and determination displayed on that fateful afternoon. It serves as a testament to the passion shared by both teams for this beloved sport. The photograph itself is a window into rugby's golden era of the 1970s – an era characterized by fierce rivalries, physicality, and unwavering dedication. As we gaze upon this piece of sporting history frozen in time, it reminds us of how far rugby has come while also evoking nostalgia for simpler times when matches were played purely for love of the game. This stunning print is perfect for any sports enthusiast or lover of vintage memorabilia who wishes to own a tangible piece of rugby heritage captured forever on
