EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from May 11th, 1963, we are transported back to the iconic Wembley Stadium for a momentous Rugby League Final between Wakefield Trinity and Wigan. The image captures the electrifying atmosphere as both teams line up on the pitch before kick-off, ready to battle it out for glory in front of thousands of passionate fans. However, what truly sets this photo apart is the presence of a distinguished guest - Lord Bernard Montgomery. As an esteemed military leader and national hero from World War II, his appearance adds an air of grandeur to this already monumental occasion. Standing tall amidst the players, he graciously extends his hand to each member of both teams in a symbolic gesture that transcends sport. The medium-sized group of athletes exude determination and focus as they prepare themselves mentally for what promises to be an intense clash on the field. Their faces reveal a mix of nerves and excitement as they exchange pleasantries with Lord Montgomery – a rare opportunity that surely left an indelible mark on their memories. This photograph not only encapsulates a significant sporting event but also serves as a poignant reminder of how sports can bring people together across different walks of life. It immortalizes a moment when rugby league legends stood side by side with one another and shared common ground with an influential figure who symbolized courage, leadership, and unity. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded once again why sports hold such power -
