EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print is a moment frozen in time from the intense clash between Preston North End and Newcastle United on February 6th, 1965. The focus of the photograph lies on John McGrath, whose face reveals a mix of relief and disbelief. It appears that Wilson's boot narrowly missed sinking into his leg, leaving him unscathed but undoubtedly shaken. This snapshot encapsulates the raw emotions and physicality of football during the 1960s. As players battled it out on the pitch, every tackle held potential danger, as demonstrated by this near miss. Alfred Markey skillfully captures this fleeting moment with impeccable timing and composition. The significance of this match extends beyond individual players or teams; it represents an era when football was played with grit and determination. In League Division Two, both Preston North End and Newcastle United fought tooth and nail for victory, making each encounter fiercely competitive. As we gaze upon this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a time when sportsmanship reigned supreme amidst fierce rivalries. This image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of these clubs within English football history.
