EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print captured on May 4th, 1977, footballer Larry Lloyd pays a surprise visit to young Woodlands School footballer John Price at Walsgrave Hospital. Lloyd, who was formerly a defender for Coventry City and is now with Nottingham Forest, wanted to show his support and inspire the recovering patient after undergoing a back operation. Having experienced a similar back injury during his own career with the Sky Blues, Lloyd empathized with Price's situation. Determined to demonstrate that complete recovery is possible, he took time out of his busy schedule to personally connect with the aspiring footballer. This unexpected gesture not only lifted Price's spirits but also served as an encouraging reminder that setbacks can be overcome. Unfortunately, due to his injury, Price had been forced out of tomorrow's national final at Highfield Road in Coventry. However, this visit from an esteemed professional like Lloyd surely provided solace amidst disappointment. This remarkable moment captures the essence of sportsmanship and camaraderie within the world of football. It serves as a testament to both Larry Lloyd's compassion and John Price's resilience in their shared love for the game.
