In this print captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the year 1971, witnessing a historic moment in English football. The image showcases the England national team diligently preparing for their crucial match against Greece in the UEFA Euro 1972 Qualifying tournament. The setting is Roehampton, where the squad has gathered to fine-tune their skills before facing off against their opponents at Wembley Stadium. A sense of focus and determination radiates from each player as they engage in an intense training session under the watchful eyes of their coach. Positioned left to right, we see some legendary figures who have etched themselves into football folklore. Gordon Banks, renowned for his exceptional goalkeeping abilities; Alan Ball, a dynamic midfielder with boundless energy; Alan Mullery, a tenacious presence in midfield; Francis Lee, known for his clinical finishing prowess; Bobby Moore, an iconic captain and defensive stalwart; and Peter Osgood, a skilled striker capable of turning games on its head.
