Soccer in the Phoenix Park. Dublin 1963.

In Dublin’s Phoenix Park, two young boys are absorbed in a game of soccer in 1963. The boy on the right, wearing trousers held up by suspenders, dynamically kicks the ball, which is frozen in mid-air. He has a focused and joyful expression. Facing him, a playmate in dark shorts and bunched-down socks stands on a patch of bare earth, poised to receive the pass. A bundled-up jacket lies on the grass in the foreground, adding to the candid quality of this moment of carefree play amidst a background of trees.
