Original photos of George Best and Denis Law by photographer Patrick Black

December 21st, 2008 · No Comments

I recently made contact with retired photographer Patrick Black, who told me about his collection of photographs taken in the 1960s and 70s, many on the theme of football.

Denis Law George Best Manchester United 1972

Patrick Black photographer 14 Nov 2008In particular he showed me his photographs of players George Best, Denis Law and Willie Morgan, taken probably around 1972.

Patrick also has photographs of Cardinal Heenan and other senior personalities involved with the construction of the Metropolitan Cathedral in Liverpool.

I visited Patrick on 14 Nov 2008 and took the photo of him on the right.

He is interested in licencing or possibly selling the collection in order to raise money for a special charity he is supporting.

I’m currently showcasing a sample of the photographs on my sites to gauge the level of interest. The photos are captured on 6×6 cm (2 1/4 x 2 1/4 ins) and 35mm negative.

For more information please contact me.
