MORRISSEY AND SMITHS PHOTOGRAPHER IN NEW BOOST TO LADS CLUB APPEAL

"What difference does it make? It makes a BIG one'

ONE is a famous photograph which is part of British rock history. The other is a family snapshot of a brother and sister.

Now they will both be available to fans of The Smiths through Salford Lads and Girls Club.

The 121-year old institution on Coronation Street, Ordsall, was saved from closure last month after £250,000 was raised in just six weeks. It is hoped the two images will further boost club funds.

In 1985 the Manchester band chose the entrance to the club for a photoshoot with a young photographer, Stephen Wright.

One of the pictures he took which hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in London - was used on the inner sleeve of The Queen Is Dead album and on the back of the Best Of album. It also put the club on the map globally.

The picture of the siblings is Morrissey and his elder sister, Jacqueline, taken in the 1960s, when his family lived in Hulme before they later moved to Stretford.

It has been printed on T-shirts to be sold by the club after the singer and songwriter who donated £50,000 to the club's recent appeal, gave his approval.
