EDITORS COMMENTS
Legends Unite: A Memorable Morning Gallop". In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of Southport Promenade on a crisp morning in March 1969. The image captures an extraordinary moment where two worlds collide - football and horseracing. Leading the charge is none other than West Bromwich Albion's revered centre forward, Jeff Astle, whose winning goal at Wembley last year still echoes through the hearts of fans. Perched confidently atop Astle's broad shoulders is national hunt jockey Terry Buddlecombe, his eyes gleaming with excitement as they embark on their early morning gallop. Both sporting icons find themselves sharing accommodations at a prestigious Southport Hotel, creating an unexpected camaraderie that transcends their respective sports. As they thunder down the promenade, four figures watch intently from left to right - Tony Brown, John Osborne, Bobby Hope, and Graham Williams; loyal teammates who have witnessed countless triumphs alongside Astle on the hallowed grounds of West Bromwich Albion. This remarkable snapshot encapsulates not only a unique bond between two sporting realms but also serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit and passion that unites athletes across disciplines. It immortalizes a fleeting moment when legends converged upon Southport Promenade - forever etching their names into the annals of both football and horseracing history.
