EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "David Herd of Manchester United scoring ace with the mule-kick in his boots" we are transported back to January 1967, a time when football was at its peak. David Herd, an iconic player for Manchester United, is captured in action as he unleashes a powerful strike on goal using his signature mule-kick technique. Known as Soccer's Hot Shot, Herd's incredible skills and precision were legendary. This particular moment was part of a high-speed experiment conducted at Witton in Birmingham to measure the velocity of the ball after it left his boot. The image perfectly encapsulates the intensity and determination that defined both Herd and the sport during that era. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph by Sheppard from Memory Lane Prints, we can almost feel the energy emanating from Herd's focused expression and see the sheer force behind his kick. It serves as a reminder of how football has always been more than just a game; it is an art form where players push boundaries and create moments that will forever be etched into history. This remarkable snapshot not only celebrates David Herd's exceptional talent but also pays homage to an era when football reached new heights of excitement and innovation. It captures a fleeting yet timeless instant frozen in time, allowing us to relive one man's extraordinary skill set against the backdrop of 1960s football training culture.
