Reading Evening Post newspaper clipping from July 17, 1985 about Laker Airways payout to soccer team
A newspaper clipping from the Reading Evening Post dated July 17, 1985, with the headline 'SOCCER LADS EYE LAKER PAY-OUT' by Louise White. The article discusses how members of a Reading schoolboy soccer team, whose dream trip to Florida was cancelled when Laker Airways collapsed, may finally receive the £8,500 compensation they are owed three years after Sir Freddie Laker's airline went into liquidation. This represents the human impact of Laker Airways' 1982 collapse on ordinary customers who had paid for services.
