EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Robson Johny, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of Hampden Road on April 23,1964. The image showcases George Herd, a talented Sunderland and Scottish centre forward, experiencing an exhilarating moment upon hearing his selection to the Scottish squad for an upcoming match against Germany. Amidst the excitement of such news, Herd finds himself in the heart of a humble back alley surrounded by enthusiastic neighborhood children. With a football at his feet and joy radiating from his face, he engages in a spontaneous kickabout with these young fans who idolize him. The scene is filled with pure delight as generations unite through their shared love for the beautiful game. It encapsulates the essence of community spirit that thrived during this era - where even renowned football stars like Herd took time out to connect with those who admired them most. Robson Johny's expertly composed shot not only freezes this unforgettable moment in time but also serves as a poignant reminder of how sports can bridge gaps between individuals from all walks of life. This print truly captures both the magic and camaraderie that defined 1960s football culture without any commercial undertones; it stands as a testament to our collective passion for sport and its ability to bring people together.
