EDITORS COMMENTS
The England football squad returns to London airport, their heads held high but hearts heavy with disappointment, after being knocked out of the World Cup tournament in Stockholm, Sweden. The photo captures a moment frozen in time on the 19th of June 1958. As they disembark from the plane, we see West Bromwich Albion forward Derk Kevan leading the way. His impressive performance during the tournament, scoring twice for his team, has earned him well-deserved recognition. Just a few steps behind him is Don Howe, an influential figure in English football history. Caught between them is Bill Slater from Wolves, another key player who fought valiantly on the field. And finally, bringing up the rear is none other than Bobby Charlton himself – a name that would become synonymous with greatness and triumph for both club and country. Despite their early exit from this prestigious event, these men exude resilience and determination as they make their way down those airplane steps. Dressed impeccably in smart suits and jackets while carrying their luggage with pride; it's evident that even defeat cannot dampen their spirits or tarnish their commitment to representing England on international soil. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of not only an era when air travel was still glamorous and exciting but also of the passion and dedication displayed by these athletes who wore the Three Lions emblem with honor.
