EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1965, we witness a heartwarming moment at Central Park, Wigan. Frank Parr and Ray Ashby of Wigan Rugby F. C. proudly display the prestigious Rugby League Challenge Cup to their devoted fans. The excitement in the air is palpable as supporters and spectators gather around, eager to catch a glimpse of their beloved team's triumph. However, amidst the sea of cheering faces, one small figure stands out - 10-year-old Maurice Tait from Lymefield Flats in Wigan. With pure innocence and admiration shining in his eyes, Maurice surprises everyone by offering up his father's cherished cup for fishing! A collective gasp fills the air as Ashby politely declines this unexpected gesture. This photograph captures not only a significant moment in sports history but also highlights the unwavering passion that rugby league evokes within its community. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grand celebrations and glory on the field, it is often these simple acts of devotion from young fans like Maurice that truly touch our hearts. As we delve into Memory Lane Prints' collection with Mirrorpix, let us cherish this snapshot frozen in time - an emblematic representation of love for sport and unyielding support for our favorite teams.
