EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 24th of November in 1995, where the legendary New Zealand rugby player Jonah Lomu graced Rugby with his presence. The image captures a momentous occasion as Lomu stands proudly beside the Webb Ellis plaque at Rugby School, paying homage to the birthplace of the sport he so passionately played. Lomu's imposing figure and unwavering determination on the field made him an icon in the world of rugby union during the 1990s. As one of New Zealand's most celebrated athletes, his visit to Warwickshire in England was met with great excitement and admiration from fans and fellow players alike. The significance of this photograph lies not only in Lomu's visit but also in its connection to William Webb Ellis, who is credited with inventing rugby football at Rugby School back in 1823. Standing before this historic plaque symbolizes Lomu's deep respect for both tradition and innovation within his beloved sport. This snapshot encapsulates a remarkable era when Jonah Lomu redefined what it meant to be a rugby player. His impact extended far beyond mere statistics or victories; he became an inspiration for generations to come. With every stride captured by this image, we witness not just a sportsman visiting a landmark but also witness history being made - forever etching Jonah Lomu into the annals of rugby folklore.
