EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bill Ellmann, we are transported back to the 1970s, a time when rugby union reigned supreme in England. The image showcases Fran Cotton, freshly appointed as England's captain, extending a helping hand to his Coventry teammate Keith Fairbrother at Coventry's Wholesale Fruit and Veg Market on the 6th of January, 1975. The camaraderie between these two men is palpable as they stand beside a loaded lorry filled with sacks of potatoes. Their smiles radiate happiness and pride, embodying the spirit of teamwork that defines both their sporting careers and their friendship. Surrounded by crates and trolleys brimming with fresh produce, this photograph not only captures a moment in sports history but also offers us a glimpse into the vibrant market atmosphere of Coventry during that era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst intense competition on the rugby field, these athletes had lives beyond sport - engaging in businesses like fruit and vegetable trading. Ellmann's expert composition allows us to witness this unique bond shared among three people: Fran Cotton, Keith Fairbrother, and an unnamed worker who assists them in loading the lorry. Together they form an unbreakable team united by their passion for rugby union and their dedication to supporting one another both on and off the pitch. This remarkable snapshot freezes time for us to appreciate not just athletic prowess but also genuine connections forged through sport - connections that endure long after matches are
