EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1980s, specifically to a benefit evening for Kostas Petrou at The Albany. The image captures an intense moment as Kostas Petrou, a Greek Cypriot boxer known as "The Greek Tank" squares up against Paddy Lynch. It was taken on the 3rd of December in 1989 and showcases the electrifying atmosphere of this sporting event. Dressed impeccably in a dinner suit and jacket, Kostas Petrou exudes confidence and determination as he prepares to face his opponent. His strong physique hints at the years of training and dedication that have brought him to this momentous occasion. Meanwhile, Paddy Lynch stands opposite him, ready to take on the challenge with equal fervor. This photograph not only captures a thrilling boxing match but also represents unity within the community as it was organized as a benefit evening for Kostas Petrou. Such events were common during that era when people came together to support their local sports heroes. Paul Vokes skillfully immortalizes this significant moment through his lens, allowing us to relive the excitement felt by all those present at The Albany that night. This print serves as a reminder of both individual strength and communal support – qualities that transcend time and continue to inspire us today.
