This iconic photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club during their FAC6 match against Leicester City, on October 23,1967. The image, taken by renowned sports photographer S&G, depicts a determined Norman Deeley (#9) of Wolves, in mid-stride and poised to shoot at Leicester City's goal. The intensity in Deeley's gaze is palpable as he focuses on the target, while Leicester City's Tony Knapp (#11) and goalkeeper Gordon Banks (#1) watch on with anticipation. The First Association Cup (FAC) Sixth Round match at Molineux Stadium was a highly anticipated fixture, with both teams vying for a place in the FA Cup Final. The atmosphere was electric, and the tension was palpable as the two sides battled it out on the pitch. Deeley, a key player for Wolves, was known for his skill and precision, and this shot on target was a testament to his talent. Banks, one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, was at the height of his career and was determined to keep a clean sheet. The outcome of this encounter would depend on the smallest of margins, and the entire stadium held its breath as Deeley took aim. This photograph not only captures the drama and excitement of football but also serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when football was more than just a commercial enterprise, but a passion that brought communities together.
