EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by John Bassett, football legend Cyrille Regis finds himself enveloped in a sea of adoring Sky Blue fans at the conclusion of his final home game for Coventry City on May 9th, 1991. The image beautifully encapsulates the deep connection between player and supporters, showcasing the immense love and admiration bestowed upon Regis by the Coventry faithful. Regis, an iconic figure in English football during the 1990s, was revered not only for his exceptional skills on the pitch but also for breaking down racial barriers within the sport. As a pioneer for black players in British football, he became an inspiration to many aspiring athletes across the nation. The photograph perfectly captures both joyous celebration and bittersweet farewell as Regis bids goodbye to his beloved team. The expressions on both his face and those surrounding him reflect a mix of elation and sadness - elation from witnessing their hero's incredible career unfold before them, and sadness knowing that this would be their last opportunity to witness his magic at Highfield Road Stadium. This powerful image serves as a testament to Regis' enduring legacy within Coventry City FC. It immortalizes not just a moment in time but also symbolizes the unwavering bond between player and fans that transcends generations.
