EDITORS COMMENTS
The Grandmother, Ken Buchanan's most ferocious fan, was known for her unwavering support and determination to see him succeed. In the 1950s, she would sneak him into boxing matches in Edinburgh, cleverly hiding him under her coat. This iconic print captures a moment prior to Buchanan's defense of his WBA World Lightweight title fight against Ismael Laguna Meneses on September 13th, 1971. In the image, we see The Grandmother standing proudly beside her beloved boxer grandson. Her eyes are filled with a mix of anticipation and pride as she watches over him before he steps into the ring. Despite being from a different era and facing numerous challenges as a female boxing enthusiast in those times, she never let anything deter her from supporting Ken's dreams. This photograph is not just about boxing; it symbolizes love, dedication, and the unbreakable bond between family members. It serves as a reminder that sometimes our biggest supporters come from unexpected places and can be found within our own families. The Grandmother's story resonates with many who understand the power of unconditional love and how it can shape someone's journey towards greatness. As we look at this image captured by Memory Lane Prints' staff photographer during the seventies era of sport, we are reminded of the indomitable spirit that drives us all to overcome obstacles and achieve our goals.
