In this print captured by Albert Cooper, we are transported back to the 1960s when Leeds United players found a unique way to relax and concentrate before a game. Manager Don Revie devised an unconventional plan to keep their minds off the upcoming match until the very last minute - playing Bingo! The image showcases five legendary Leeds United players engrossed in their bingo cards, completely absorbed in the game. From left to right, we see Jimmy Greenhoff, Rod Johnson, Mike O'Grady, Jackie Charlton, and Alan Peacock. Each player wears a focused expression as they eagerly await their numbers being called out. This snapshot not only captures a moment of relaxation for these football icons but also highlights their dedication and commitment towards maintaining concentration on the field. It is fascinating to witness how even during leisure time, these athletes were determined to stay mentally sharp. As we delve into this nostalgic scene from January 19th, 1966, it serves as a reminder that sportsmanship goes beyond physical prowess alone. The camaraderie shared among teammates shines through as they engage in friendly competition while preparing for battle on the pitch. Albert Cooper's photograph encapsulates both the spirit of sport and an era long gone by.
