EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic moment captured at White City Greyhound Racing Stadium in 1932, Mr. S. Johnson, elated owner of Wild Woolley, the victorious greyhound in that year's Greyhound Derby, addresses the staggering crowd of 75,000 spectators. The excitement in the air was palpable as Mr. Johnson, dressed in a sharp suit and hat, spoke into the microphone, basking in the glory of his champion's triumph. Behind him, two distinguished figures stood proudly: Brigadier General A. C. Critchley and Lady Chesham. General Critchley, credited with introducing greyhound racing to Britain, watched with a satisfied smile as the sport he had championed continued to captivate the masses. Lady Chesham, an influential figure in London society, added an air of elegance and prestige to the event. The 1930s were a golden era for greyhound racing, with the Derby attracting record-breaking crowds and generating significant media attention. The thrill of the chase, the anticipation of the race, and the unwavering support of the fans made the Greyhound Derby a staple of British sporting history. As the roar of the crowd continued to echo through the stadium, the legacy of this iconic moment in greyhound racing history was cemented, forever etched in the annals of the 1930s and the memories of those who witnessed it.
