EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1960s, precisely on the 16th of September in 1963. The image captures the iconic heavyweight boxer Sonny Liston at Newcastle Central Station, accompanied by Mr Leslie Roberts, a representative of the National Sporting Club in London and a police sergeant escort. Liston's imposing figure dominates the frame as he stands tall and proud amidst a bustling crowd. Dressed sharply in his boxing attire, he exudes an air of confidence that only champions possess. His muscular arms are folded across his chest while his eyes meet the camera lens with intensity. Beside him stands Mr Leslie Roberts, who appears to be engaged in conversation with Liston. Perhaps they were discussing upcoming fights or strategizing for future victories. The presence of a police officer adds an element of security and protection to this momentous occasion. As if acknowledging his adoring fans or bidding farewell to Newcastle, Liston raises one hand high above his head in a friendly wave. This simple gesture showcases not only his physical strength but also reveals a softer side to this formidable athlete. This photograph is more than just an image frozen in time; it encapsulates an era when sportsmanship was revered and celebrated. It serves as a reminder of Sonny Liston's immense talent and enduring legacy within the world of boxing—a true testament to human resilience and determination against all odds.
