EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, two legendary Manchester football managers, Joe Mercer and Matt Busby, share a lighthearted moment on the eve of an intense local Derby. The setting is the elegant Midland Hotel in Manchester, where they have gathered for a charity luncheon organized by the Variety Club of Great Britain to support children in need. The image captures their genuine camaraderie as they exchange playful banter and jokes with each other. Both men are seen smiling warmly, perhaps momentarily forgetting about the fierce competition that awaits them at Old Trafford. It is December 1969, and these two icons of English football are at the height of their careers. Joe Mercer stands on the left side of the frame while Matt Busby graces us with his presence on the right. They even brought along toys to add an element of childlike joy to this charitable event. Little do they know that soon their smiles will fade away as they gear up for battle on the pitch. This print from Memory Lane Prints not only captures a significant moment in sporting history but also showcases the human side of these football giants. It serves as a reminder that behind every fierce rivalry lies mutual respect and shared moments of levity amidst all seriousness.
