Competitors in a 1967 women’s doubles match take a drinks break between games with no seats available for the players

Sometimes its good to remember how much our sports have evolved

Is that because it was women's doubles and seen as not important? Or was it the same for all the matches?

It was the same for all of them i believe. Hard to imagine the players not having a place to sit down between sets.

EDIT: Can't imagine the mens games not having chair for some reason. They'd have been longer and I think the average time for matches for women were generally shorter back then.

“When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.” Few aphorisms in football are as bizarre or memorable as the one uttered by Eric Cantona in March 1995 when he addressed the national media two months after his infamous “kung fu” attack on a Crystal Palace fan. “The King”, as Manchester United fans called him, was unrepentant for his actions and won his appeal against a prison sentence. It would be just over six months before he would return to action, in a home match with arch-rivals Liverpool. After serving one of the longest bans in football history, Cantona’s impact was instantaneous. He crafted the opening goal after just 67 seconds of the match, teeing up teammate Nicky Butt, before a Robbie Fowler double gave the visitors a 2-1 lead. Poetically, the fate of the match came to rest on Cantona’s shoulders when Ryan Giggs won a 71st-minute penalty. Cantona, hands on hips, oozed confidence before casually stroking the spot-kick into one corner as the goalkeeper dived to the other. The subsequent celebration was distinctly odd: he pole-danced in front of the East Stand. Why such a celebration, you might ask? Because ... er, he’s Eric Cantona.

Jordan Pickford makes a flying save during the match between West Ham and Everton at London Stadium. David Moyes’ side drew 1-1 with his former club.

Could be mistaken for thinking this is some old picture from decades ago...
