Great moment of courage and resilience: Manchester City's Bert Trautmann saves the day at the FA Cup Final against Birmingham City in 1956 This iconic photograph captures a pivotal moment from the FA Cup Final between Manchester City and Birmingham City, held at the prestigious Wembley Stadium in 1956. In the image, Manchester City's goalkeeper Bert Trautmann (left) is seen making a heroic save, diving at the feet of Birmingham City's Peter Murphy (center) with teammate Dave Ewing (right) looking on. What sets this save apart from others is the fact that Trautmann had broken his neck during the challenge. Unaware of the injury, the German-born goalkeeper played on until the final whistle, demonstrating an unparalleled level of courage and determination. The FA Cup Final, which took place on May 12,1956, ended in a 3-1 victory for Manchester City. Trautmann's remarkable performance between the posts played a significant role in securing the trophy for the team. Despite the seriousness of his injury, Trautmann's commitment to the game and his team did not go unnoticed. His heroics that day earned him the nickname "The Flying German" and solidified his place in Manchester City's history books. This photograph, taken by PA Photos (archives, fa cup), is a testament to the indomitable spirit of football and the unwavering dedication of its players. It serves as a reminder that sometimes, the greatest victories are not just about the scoreline, but the courage and determination displayed on the field.
