EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in black and white, this historic print takes us back to the exhilarating clash between England Amateurs and Scotland Amateurs at Filbert Street, Leicester on a chilly Saturday afternoon of December 18th, 1926. The first international match held at this iconic venue witnessed an impressive victory for the Scottish side with a resounding scoreline of 4-1. In this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we are introduced to the valiant members of the England National Amateur Football Team who battled fiercely on that fateful day. A. Russell, F. Twine, F. Gregory, R. Fairbrother, Billy Bryant, Fred Ewer, R. Jenkins; these names echo through time as they stood united against their formidable opponents. Led by their indomitable captain Edgar Kail, the team exuded determination and passion as they stepped onto the hallowed grounds of Filbert Street. Viv Gibbins' unwavering spirit combined with Jackie Hegan's skillful finesse added depth to England's gameplay. This photograph serves as a testament to an era when football was pure and untainted by commercialism; where amateurs played for love of the game rather than financial gain. It captures not only a moment frozen in time but also embodies the camaraderie shared within both teams. As we gaze upon this vintage image brimming with nostalgia from nearly a century ago, it reminds us of how sport can transcend boundaries and unite nations in friendly competition.
