EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling world of rugby union in 1972. The image captures a defining moment during the Cambridge University Past and Present match against the formidable Barbarians team. Mike Gibson, a talented player from Cambridge, is seen fearlessly charging forward with the ball in hand. His determination is palpable as he evades his opponents' pursuit, exemplifying skill and agility on the field. The intensity of this historic game is further emphasized by Gordon Brown of the Barbarians hot on Gibson's heels, desperately trying to halt his progress. The backdrop for this exhilarating clash is Grange Road - an iconic venue that witnessed countless battles throughout rugby history. This particular match held special significance as it commemorated Cambridge University Rugby Club's centenary year. It was a celebration of tradition, camaraderie, and sporting excellence that had defined their club for one hundred years. Colorsport Images has masterfully captured this timeless moment through Colin Elsey's lens. This stunning photograph not only immortalizes Gibson's remarkable display of athleticism but also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of rugby union at its finest
