EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Workington, a soccer outpost nestled in a Rugby hotbed. Known as the club with the lowest wage bill in the Football League, Workington is about to make its debut in the Third Division Northern at Halifax on Saturday. The team's inspiration and guiding force is none other than manager Bert Flatley, affectionately referred to as "boss" by his dedicated players. In this snapshot from August 1951, we find Bert Flatley immersed in his office before joining his team for their final practice match. The image exudes an air of determination and focus as he sits behind his desk adorned with football memorabilia. A vintage telephone stands nearby, symbolizing communication and strategy - essential elements for success on the field. The photograph not only showcases a pivotal moment in Workington's history but also offers a glimpse into football culture during the 1950s. It highlights how even small clubs like Workington could thrive against all odds through sheer passion and dedication. As we delve into Memory Lane Prints' vast collection of historical sports photographs, this particular image resonates with fans who appreciate underdog stories and cherish moments that define sporting legacies.
