EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in football history - the 1914 British Home Championship match between Wales and Ireland. The image showcases the formidable Ireland Team Group, united and ready for battle on that fateful day in Wrexham. Standing tall at the back are some of the game's unsung heroes: Val Harris, Fred McKee, Davy Rollo, and Patrick "Paddy". O Connell. These men represented prestigious clubs such as Linfield, Blackburn Rovers, Port Vale, Belfast Celtic, Sheffield Wednesday, Hull City, Manchester United, Ashington, and Rochdale. Their experience and skill were undoubtedly instrumental in securing victory for their team. In front of them stands E. H. Seymour - the dedicated trainer who played a vital role in preparing these athletes physically and mentally for this crucial encounter. Flanking him are Sam Young, Billy Gillespie (a name synonymous with Irish football), Alex Craig (known for his defensive prowess), Bill Lacey (an attacking force to be reckoned with), Louis Bookman (whose talent shone brightly on the field), and Bill McConnell. The intensity captured within this photograph is palpable; it reflects not only their determination but also their unwavering passion for the beautiful game. This snapshot freezes time to immortalize an era when football was more than just a sport; it was a symbol of national pride. Thanks to Colorsport Images' meticulous preservation efforts over the years since its capture by Wil
