EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the FA Cup Semi Final match at Burnden Park on April 23rd, 1966. The intense rivalry between Everton and Manchester United is palpable as the score stands at a nail-biting 1-0 in favor of Everton. However, what makes this image truly remarkable is not the action on the field but rather the poignant scene taking place in the dressing room after the game. We see Everton player Fred Pickering, dressed in his team's kit, raising a glass to toast his fellow teammates who secured a spot for him in the upcoming Cup Final. Unfortunately, Pickering was unable to play due to a devastating knee injury that would also keep him out of contention for England's World Cup squad that year. Amidst all their jubilant celebrations and champagne showers, two players stand out - Jimmy Gabriel with a cigar and Colin Harvey holding onto a bottle of champagne. Their expressions reveal both joy and empathy towards their injured teammate. This photograph captures not only an iconic moment in football history but also showcases camaraderie and sportsmanship within these athletes. It serves as a reminder that victory isn't solely about individual achievements but also about supporting one another through triumphs and setbacks alike.
