EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1960s where Liverpool footballer Ian St John proudly displays a black eye. The result of a fierce heading clash with Manchester City player Colin Bell, this image captures the intensity and physicality of the sport at that time. Taken on September 1st, 1966, after much persuasion for St John to remove his sunglasses, this snapshot immortalizes a moment of resilience and determination in the face of injury. Despite his bruised appearance, St John's unwavering spirit shines through as he showcases his battle scars to the world. The photograph serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by athletes in pursuit of victory. It symbolizes their commitment to their team and their willingness to put everything on the line for their passion. St John's black eye becomes a badge of honor, representing not only his bravery but also highlighting the inherent risks associated with playing football. This iconic image transports us back in time when sports were played with raw energy and grit. It encapsulates an era where injuries were worn as badges of honor rather than setbacks. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Sayle, we are reminded that true champions rise above adversity and wear their battle scars with pride.
