EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Footballer Stan Bowles, the man who doesn't like planes" we catch a glimpse of the enigmatic football star in an unexpected setting. Taken during January 1976 on his way back from Newcastle, Bowles finds solace and entertainment in a solitary game of cards. As he settles down amidst the empty train carriage, one can almost sense his deep concentration and unwavering focus. Known for his aversion to air travel, Bowles' choice to embark on a long journey by rail speaks volumes about his character. Here is a man unafraid to go against convention, preferring the slower pace and solitude that train travel offers. With each card laid out meticulously before him, it becomes evident that patience is not only essential on the football pitch but also in life's quieter moments. The vintage aesthetic of this photograph transports us back to the 1970s when railways were still a prominent mode of transportation. The dimly lit carriage adds an air of mystery as we witness Bowles immersed in his own world while passing through various stations along the way. This remarkable image captured by Mirrorpix encapsulates both the essence of sport and human introspection. It serves as a reminder that even those revered for their athletic prowess have their own unique quirks and preferences outside their chosen field.
