EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures the Wales national football team before their match against England in the 1958 British Home Championship. The image was taken at Ninian Park, Cardiff on October 19th, 1957. In this historic snapshot, we see the Wales team group standing tall and proud, ready to face their rivals on home turf. The players are arranged in two rows, with the back row consisting of Reginald Davies, William Harris, Jack Kelsey (the goalkeeper), Melvyn Hopkins, Cliff Jones, and Stuart Williams. In front of them stand Terry Medwin, Roy Vernon (captain), Dave Bowen (manager), D. Palmer (assistant manager), and Mel Charles. The determination etched on their faces is palpable as they prepare for what would be a challenging game against England. Although the final score ended up being a disappointing 0-4 loss for Wales that day, this photograph immortalizes an important moment in Welsh football history. Taken by Colorsport Images during a time when color photography was not yet prevalent in sports coverage; this print adds a timeless quality to the image. It serves as a reminder of the passion and dedication exhibited by these players who proudly represented their nation on that fateful day over six decades ago.
