EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print captured by John Potter, we see two football legends, Stuart Pearce and Ian Butterworth, collecting their boots from the training ground. The image takes us back to the 1980s when both players were part of Coventry City FC's team known as the Sky Blues. The significance of this moment lies in the fact that Pearce and Butterworth had just agreed to join Nottingham Forest in a double-deal worth £450,000. Their departure was met with mixed emotions from City manager Don Mackay who expressed his regret at losing such talented players but acknowledged their desire to move on. This photograph not only captures a pivotal moment in these players' careers but also serves as a reminder of the ever-changing nature of professional sports. It showcases the dedication and commitment required for success in football while highlighting how individual ambitions can sometimes lead to difficult decisions. As fans look upon this image today, it evokes feelings of nostalgia for an era when these athletes represented Coventry City FC with pride. It serves as a testament to their contributions on and off the field during their time with the Sky Blues. John Potter's skillful photography transports us back to this significant day in May 1985, immortalizing these two iconic figures within football history forever.
