An Iconic Moment in Goodison Park's History - The 1966 World Cup Preparations
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of Goodison Park, home of Everton Football Club. It is the year 1964, and a significant event is about to unfold - preparations for the highly anticipated 1966 World Cup are underway. As barricades come down, making way for what will become an enduring symbol of football history, a wall is being erected at this legendary stadium. In the foreground stands a small group of Everton players who have paused from their training session to observe the workmen diligently constructing this monumental structure. Amongst them are Brian Labone, Gordon West, Mick Meagan, Dennis Stevens, Derek Temple and Alex Parker; their expressions filled with curiosity and anticipation as they witness this transformation taking place before their eyes. This photograph encapsulates not only a pivotal moment in Goodison Park's legacy but also captures the essence of football as a sport that unites nations. As FIFA gears up to host one of its most memorable tournaments on English soil two years later, it becomes evident that even during these early stages of preparation there was an air of excitement surrounding this historic event. Preserved by Charlie Owens' lens through Memory Lane Prints, this image serves as a timeless reminder of how stadiums like Goodison Park hold within them countless stories waiting to be told.
