EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Sandwell, we are transported back to August 1981, witnessing a remarkable moment in the construction of West Bromwich Albion football club's new £2 million stand. Crane operator Ray Flipper takes center stage as he fearlessly perches on the jib high above the Hawthorns stadium. The image captures the essence of both industry and sport, showcasing the dedication and skill required to bring such an ambitious project to life. With his steady hand and unwavering focus, Flipper epitomizes the unsung heroes behind every successful construction endeavor. As work is being finished off on the roof, it becomes evident that these hardworking individuals have surpassed all expectations by completing their task three months ahead of schedule. The sense of achievement radiates from Flipper's confident stance atop the crane jib. The backdrop of Hawthorns Stadium adds an extra layer of significance to this photograph. A place where dreams are realized and legends are born, it serves as a testament to West Bromwich Albion's rich history within English football. Sandwell's expertly captured image not only documents a pivotal moment in time but also encapsulates the spirit of determination and teamwork that lies at the heart of any successful venture – be it on or off the pitch.
