EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from The Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back to the historic year of 1949. Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery, a revered military figure known for his leadership during World War II, is seen engaging in a momentous handshake with none other than football legend Jackie Milburn. The image exudes nostalgia and offers a glimpse into the past, where two worlds collide - that of sport and military prowess. As Monty extends his hand towards Milburn, one can almost feel the weight of history resting upon their shoulders. Jackie Milburn's affiliation with Newcastle United adds an extra layer of significance to this photograph. A symbol of resilience and determination on the football field, Milburn represents not only his club but also the spirit of post-war Britain. This snapshot captures a unique intersection between sportsmanship and heroism; it encapsulates an era when individuals like Monty were celebrated for their bravery while athletes like Milburn brought joy to communities through their sporting achievements. J. SMART's expert eye has perfectly captured this iconic moment in time – forever preserving it as a testament to both our nation's love for football and its unwavering gratitude towards those who served during challenging times.
