EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from December 20th, 1963, we witness a powerful moment of defiance and unity as the West Bromwich Albion players stage their second walkout from training in just 24 hours. The image captures the frustration and determination etched on the faces of these twenty-one brave individuals who refused to succumb to freezing temperatures without proper attire. Their protest was sparked by manager Jimmy Hagan's refusal to allow them to wear tracksuit trousers during this bitterly cold weather. This seemingly small issue became a catalyst for an extraordinary display of solidarity among these football heroes. Amongst them stands Don Howe, the West Brom captain, whose resolute stance epitomizes their collective strength. His presence alone speaks volumes about the unwavering commitment these players have towards each other and their cause. This photograph not only immortalizes a historic moment in West Bromwich Albion's history but also serves as a reminder of the power that lies within unity and standing up for what is right. It showcases how even in adverse conditions, true champions emerge both on and off the field. Bill Ellman's expert lens has captured not just an image but also an indelible memory that will forever be cherished by fans, collectors, and all those who appreciate sportsmanship at its finest.
