EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the intensity and passion of a Football League Division One match between Leicester City and Chelsea at Filbert Street in the 1980s. The image, taken by renowned sports photographer Hugh Hastings, perfectly encapsulates the atmosphere of a bygone era in English football. In the foreground, Chelsea's Pat Nevin, with his distinctive mullet hairstyle and number 11 jersey, is seen in mid-action, attempting to evade the challenge of a Leicester City defender. The determination etched on Nevin's face, combined with the focused expression of the defender, highlights the physical and mental demands of the beautiful game. The terraces of Filbert Street, filled with passionate supporters from both teams, create an electric atmosphere. The fans, dressed in their respective colours, are fully engaged in the match, their emotions on display for all to see. The contrast between the brightly coloured scarves and the monochrome image adds to the sense of history and nostalgia. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the significant role that local football clubs play in their communities. Filbert Street, now home to Leicester City's Academy, was once the site of thrilling matches that brought together fans from all walks of life. This image, taken during a time when football was still very much a grassroots sport, is a testament to the enduring power of football to bring people together and create unforgettable memories. Overall, this photograph is a stunning example of the art of sports photography, capturing the essence of a Football League Division One match between Leicester City and Chelsea at Filbert Street in the 1980s.
