EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful snapshot from the 1970s, we witness a lighthearted moment between teammates Steve Kember and Alan Birchenhall of Crystal Palace. The image captures the camaraderie and playful spirit that often permeates within the world of football. As they prepare for their appearance on the popular ITV programme On The Ball, Kember finds himself at the receiving end of some unexpected pampering. With a mischievous grin on his face, Birchenhall expertly applies make-up to Kember's visage, transforming him into an unlikely candidate for a beauty pageant rather than a professional athlete. Laughter fills the air as both players revel in this unconventional pre-game ritual. This photograph is not just about football; it encapsulates the essence of friendship and good-natured banter shared among teammates. It reminds us that even in highly competitive environments like sports, there is always room for fun and humor. As we delve into this charming piece of history captured by Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, we are transported back to an era where expressions were genuine, bonds were strong, and moments like these were cherished forever. It serves as a reminder that beyond victories and defeats lies an intangible treasure - memories etched with laughter and joy. So let us celebrate this timeless image - a testament to unity amidst competition - where sport transcends its boundaries to become an embodiment of human connection.
