EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1970s, a defining era for British rugby union. The image features Phil Bennett, the esteemed British Lion captain, at Heathrow Airport as he and his team gear up for an epic journey to New Zealand on the 10th of May in 1977. Bennett's presence exudes confidence and determination as he stands amidst his teammates, ready to take on one of the toughest challenges in their sporting careers. As the mascot of this formidable squad, Bennett embodies the spirit of unity and resilience that defines rugby union. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a glimpse into history when athletes relied solely on their skills and passion for the game rather than commercial endorsements. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when sport was pure and untainted by external influences. Vic Crawshaw's expert eye has flawlessly captured every detail within this iconic image. From Bennett's focused gaze to his well-worn jersey proudly displaying the British Lion emblem, each element tells its own story. This print is not just a piece of memorabilia; it is an invitation to relive an extraordinary chapter in sports history. Whether you're a rugby enthusiast or simply appreciate moments that define generations, this artwork will transport you back to an era where legends were made on muddy fields under grey skies.
