PICTURE 2 (of 2)
A Motorist (pictured in picture 1 of 2 in this set )ended up on the pavement when these " footballers" went past. They were girls from the factory that makes the strip and were on their way to have their pictures taken by the press. Unconsciously they lined up in numerical order as they walked down a quiet road in Wilmslow, Cheshire.
The occasion was the first view of the Manchester City and Leicester City Cup final football strip.
Numbers 6, 7, 8 were in Manchester City colours.
Numbers 9, 10, 11 were in Leicester strip.
From the front view (i.e. this picture), they are LEFT TO RIGHT

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in football history as the Manchester City and Leicester City Cup final football strip is unveiled. The picture showcases six girls from the factory responsible for manufacturing these iconic jerseys, who coincidentally lined up in numerical order as they strolled down a serene road in Wilmslow, Cheshire. Little did they know that their presence would cause quite a stir, leading to an unsuspecting motorist finding themselves on the pavement. The strip itself is divided into two distinct sets of numbers: 6,7, and 8 representing Manchester City's colors, while numbers 9,10, and 11 proudly display Leicester City's hues. From left to right in this front view image are Eve Atkinson, Ann Earls, Georgia Thompson, Ann Williamson, Linda Ward, and Phillis Andrews. Taken on April 18th of 1969 during the vibrant era of the '60s and showcasing remarkable attention to detail with its high-quality resolution; this photograph transports us back to a time when football held immense cultural significance. It serves as a reminder of how sport unites communities and ignites passion among fans worldwide. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time by Mirrorpix's lens through Memory Lane Prints' collection; let us appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind these historic football strips but also the stories woven within each thread that continue to resonate with generations of supporters.
