EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by White & Varley, we are transported back to the 1960s, a time of great excitement and anticipation for football fans across England. The image showcases the legendary Blackpool and England player, Jimmy Armfield, seated at a table in the prestigious Royal Victoria Hotel in Sheffield on October 2nd, 1962. As tomorrow night's European Nations Cup match against France looms large at Hillsborough Stadium, Armfield takes a moment to relax and enjoy some tea amidst the bustling atmosphere surrounding him. His calm demeanor belies his immense talent and dedication to the sport that has made him an icon among football enthusiasts. The photograph beautifully captures not only Armfield's presence but also offers us a glimpse into the vibrant football culture of that era. With newspapers strewn across the table and fellow players possibly engaged in conversation nearby, it is evident that this gathering is more than just a casual meeting; it represents camaraderie amongst teammates who share an unwavering passion for their national team. White & Varley have masterfully preserved this historic moment through their lens, allowing us to immerse ourselves in nostalgia as we witness one of England's finest athletes preparing himself mentally for what promises to be an exhilarating battle on the pitch. This print serves as both a testament to Armfield's remarkable career and an ode to English football heritage during its golden years.
