EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the year 1976 when a young and talented comedian, Lenny Henry, found himself in an unexpected situation. At just 17 years old, Lenny decided to test his skills on the football field by training with the renowned Albion team. Little did he know that he was about to get more than he bargained for. As an avid fan of both comedy and football, Lenny's excitement must have been palpable as he stepped onto the pitch. However, what followed was a whirlwind experience that left him completely exhausted. The Albion stars Paddy Mulligan, Ray Wilson, and Mick Martin took it upon themselves to give Lenny a run-around like no other. The sheer intensity of their training session proved too much for our aspiring comedian. Overwhelmed by exhaustion but undoubtedly grateful for the opportunity, Lenny had to be carried off the field by these seasoned professionals who had pushed him beyond his limits. This snapshot captures not only a moment in time but also showcases Lenny Henry's determination and passion for pursuing different avenues of entertainment outside his comedic career. It serves as a reminder that even those we admire can find themselves out of their comfort zone when venturing into new territories such as sport. With its nostalgic charm and historical significance within both comedy and sports realms, this print is sure to delight fans of all ages who appreciate talent in various forms.
