EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Mervyn Berens, we are transported back to October 1972, where the vibrant energy of Manchester City football supporters is palpable. The image captures a moment in time when fans eagerly gathered outside the stadium before a match, their enthusiasm and anticipation radiating through the lens. The scene showcases not only the passion for sport but also provides us with a glimpse into youth culture during that era. A group of teenagers, predominantly boys, can be seen huddled together in their fashionable attire. The fashion trends of the 1970s are on full display as flares dominate their clothing choices while long hair and unique hairstyles further accentuate their individuality. What strikes us most about this photograph is the camaraderie among these friends. Their bond forged through shared love for Manchester City is evident as they exchange banter and laughter amidst an electric atmosphere. It serves as a reminder that football has always been more than just a game; it unites people from diverse backgrounds under one common goal. Mervyn Berens' expert composition allows us to relive this momentous occasion decades later, reminding us of how sports fandom transcends time. This print encapsulates not only a specific event but also represents an entire generation's spirit and youthful exuberance captured forever in history's frame.
