EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1970s, where an intense English League Division One match is taking place at Elland Road. Leeds United and Liverpool are battling it out on the field, resulting in a thrilling 1-1 draw. The focus of this image lies on two iconic figures - Alan Curtis of Leeds and Phil Thompson of Liverpool. As they engage in a fierce contest for possession, their contrasting appearances catch our attention. On the left stands Alan Curtis with his striking blonde hair styled in a bleach-permed fashion that was popular during that era. However, what truly sets this moment apart is the introduction of Hitachi as the new sponsor for both teams' jerseys. This marked an exciting development in football sponsorship history as electronics giant Hitachi made its presence known within the sport. Albert Cooper's expertly captured photograph freezes this significant moment in time for us to admire and reminisce about football's evolution over the years. The intensity on both players' faces reflects their dedication and commitment to their respective clubs. This print not only captures a thrilling sporting event but also serves as a reminder of how sponsorship has become an integral part of modern-day sports culture. It showcases how brands like Hitachi have played a role in shaping football history while leaving us curious about what other fascinating moments lie within Albert Cooper's collection
