EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Colorsport Images, the 1955 FA Cup Final between Newcastle United and Manchester City takes a heartbreaking turn. The focus of the image is on Jimmy Meadows, a talented player for Manchester City, who is seen leaving the field with a knee injury in the 17th minute of the match. The pain and disappointment etched on Meadows' face are palpable as he is helped off the Wembley field. Little did he know that this moment would mark the end of his football career. In those days, substitutes were not allowed in English football until much later, so Manchester City had to continue playing with only ten players for the remainder of the game. This photograph serves as a reminder of both Meadows' personal tragedy and also highlights how different football was back then compared to today's modern game. It captures an era when injuries could have devastating consequences for players without any immediate recourse or support from teammates waiting on the bench. Colorsport has expertly preserved this historic moment in their print collection, allowing us to reflect upon one player's unfortunate fate while appreciating how far football has come since then.
