EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the year 1953, a time when sports legends were born and history was made. It was the year that Henry Cooper, the renowned boxer, joined the esteemed 4th battalion known as the boxing battalion. This photograph captures a momentous gathering of sporting heroes who had left an indelible mark on their respective fields. Among them stands Trevor Bailey and Bill Edrich, instrumental in helping England regain the Ashes in cricket. Billy Wright and his England team-mates also find themselves immortalized here, despite suffering a crushing defeat at Wembley by Hungary with a scoreline of 6-3. Peter Alliss can be seen as a young golfing junior, displaying early signs of his future success.
