Soccer Action

by Peter Elgar

Taken many years ago now --must be 1973 or 1974 at Wembley Stadium when Billericay Town won the 'FA Vase' -- I was covering it for the 'Billericay ARGUS' newspaper which went broke in 1980. It says on print ' Asahi Pentax Electro=Spotmatic + 300mm f5.5 Hanimex, Ilford HP5 processed in Promicrol.
I no longer have that CAMERA but I do still have that old LENS. I scanned a darkroom print found in my files.

Great action shot. exactly at the right time. that could have been the stand out picture in the sports section

You also can see the 70's mustaches. I had one too.

A give away from this era.

Very good shot. Regards, Horst

Totally agree. I love the grainy look of film. I have some Tour de France photos which I have scanned.

Seems that Billericay won the Vase three times - 1976/1977 & 1979! Great capture Peter!
