EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from The Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back to the year 1979 at the iconic Goldstone Ground. Here, Brighton & Hove Albion's dedicated groundsman Frankie Howard takes center stage as he meticulously mows the pitch prior to a highly anticipated fixture against Arsenal. The image exudes nostalgia and historic charm, capturing a moment frozen in time when football was still pure and untainted by modern commercialism. As we gaze upon this snapshot of the past, we can almost feel the excitement building in anticipation of the upcoming match. Frankie Howard's commitment to his craft is evident as he expertly maneuvers his trusty lawnmower across the hallowed turf. His dedication ensures that every blade of grass is perfectly trimmed, creating an immaculate playing surface for both teams to showcase their skills. This photograph not only celebrates a bygone era but also pays homage to all those unsung heroes behind-the-scenes who work tirelessly to maintain these sporting arenas. It serves as a reminder that while footballers may steal the limelight on match days, it is individuals like Frankie Howard who lay down the foundation for unforgettable moments on these sacred grounds. Clifford Ling's masterful capture transports us back in time and allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of sport but also its rich history. This print is truly a treasure for any fan or collector seeking glimpses into football's glorious past.
