Frozen beside the goalpost, the scene bristles with the tension of a World Cup classic: the ball skidding low as the goalkeeper sprawls across the line, too late to smother it.

A crest-like…

1975 takes us behind the scenes at Notts County, into the changing room where manager Jimmy Sirrel is pictured in an unguarded moment away from the pitch.

A tightly posed group of young athletes gathers on an indoor court, their long-sleeved uniforms and high collars placing the scene firmly in the early twentieth century. At the center, a basketball marked “07” anchors the composition, while a figure in a sweater with a bold “M” stands behind the front row. The women’s steady…
