EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Charlie Ley, we are transported back to the 1960s at the Old Blues R. F. Club ground in Fairlop, Essex. The image showcases members of the Essex cricket team engaging in an unusual training session, as they limber up with a rugby ball. At the center of attention is Ken Preston, surrounded by his teammates and fellow cricketers. As the players prepare for their upcoming matches, it seems that they have found a unique way to enhance their catching skills and agility. However, amidst their rigorous routine, Gill Greensmith seizes an opportunity to tackle Ken Preston with full force. The intensity and determination on both faces reveal just how committed these athletes were to honing their abilities. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the camaraderie shared among sportsmen from different disciplines. It serves as a reminder that dedication knows no boundaries when it comes to achieving excellence in one's chosen field. Charlie Ley's expert eye has beautifully preserved this nostalgic scene from April 22nd, 1963 – an era where physical training methods may have been unconventional but undeniably effective. This remarkable snapshot offers us a glimpse into the past and reminds us of the passion and commitment required to excel in any sport or endeavor.
