EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this nostalgic print is 22-year-old Karen Adamson, proudly donning the new mascot costume for Leigh Borough Football Club. Despite their unfortunate record of never winning a game, this spirited team from the Second Division in the Manchester League has caught the attention of Granadas Kick Off soccer programme. As a result, they are about to receive a complete set of fresh playing kits as recognition for being the best losers in all of Granadaland. The year is 1972, and amidst an era filled with vibrant football culture and community spirit, Karen stands as a symbol of unwavering support for her beloved club. Her enthusiasm shines through as she poses confidently alongside her fellow teammates' laundry hanging on clotheslines behind her. This snapshot encapsulates not only the determination and resilience displayed by Leigh Borough FC but also highlights women's involvement in sports during that time. In an era when female participation was still relatively limited, Karen breaks barriers by embracing her role as the team's mascot. Peter Sheppard skillfully captures this moment frozen in time – a testament to both triumphs and setbacks experienced by local football clubs like Leigh Borough FC. This evocative image serves as a reminder that even amidst defeat, there is always room for camaraderie and hope within sporting communities.
