EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a remarkable moment in history. It captures David Corbett, accompanied by his loving wife Jeanne and their loyal furry companion Pickles, proudly posing for the camera. But what makes this image truly extraordinary is the story behind it. In the summer of 1966, as anticipation built up for one of football's most prestigious tournaments – the World Cup – chaos ensued when the iconic trophy went missing. Amidst despair and frantic searches, fate intervened in an unexpected way. Enter Pickles, an ordinary yet extraordinary canine hero who stumbled upon destiny. With his keen sense of smell leading him on an adventure through suburban streets, Pickles discovered something hidden beneath some bushes: none other than the coveted Jules Rimet Trophy! This incredible find not only saved England's honor but also etched itself into sporting folklore forever. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how such a small creature played a pivotal role in shaping history. The joy radiating from David Corbett's face reflects both relief and gratitude towards his four-legged savior. And standing beside him is Jeanne; her eyes filled with pride for her husband's connection to this miraculous event. John Downing skillfully captured this heartwarming scene that reminds us of humanity's unbreak
