EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from the 1953 FA Cup Final, we witness a moment of pure sporting brilliance as Eric Bell of Bolton Wanderers scores against Blackpool. The match was held at Wembley Stadium on February 5th, 1953, and it remains etched in football history for its thrilling display of skill and determination. As the image captures the scene, Bell defies gravity with an impressive leap above Eddie Shimwell to head the ball into the net. With his eyes firmly fixed on victory, he secures a crucial goal that gives Bolton Wanderers a commanding 3-1 lead. Onlookers include Nat Lofthouse on the left side of the frame and George Farm, Blackpool's goalkeeper who stretches out in vain to stop Bell's strike. The atmosphere at Wembley is electric - fans roar with excitement while players push themselves to their limits in pursuit of glory. This photograph perfectly encapsulates both the physicality and artistry inherent in football as well as showcasing Colorsport's exceptional ability to capture such moments. Colorsport Images has masterfully preserved this snapshot from one of English football's most memorable encounters. It serves not only as a testament to Eric Bell's remarkable talent but also commemorates an era when passion for sport united communities across Britain.
