The image showcases two legendary England Derby County footballers, Roy McFarland and Colin Todd, in their room at the Airport hotel before an exhilarating international match against Czechoslovakia in the upcoming 1976 European Championship Preliminary Round. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time on October 27th, 1975, we witness a moment of camaraderie and anticipation between these talented athletes. McFarland stands confidently on the left side of the frame while his teammate Todd accompanies him with equal determination. Their expressions reveal a mix of focus and excitement as they mentally prepare themselves for what promises to be an intense battle on the field.
