EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in football history - the 1948/9 British Home Championship match between England and Wales. The image captures the Wales team group, brimming with determination and anticipation, just moments before kick-off at Villa Park on November 10th, 1948. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see the players standing tall with pride. At the back row from left to right are Tommy G. Jones of Everton, Alfred Sherwood representing Cardiff City, William Archie Hughes from Blackburn Rovers, Roy Paul of Swansea Town, and Ron Burgess proudly donning Tottenham Hotspur's colors. The front row showcases more talented individuals who were part of this legendary Welsh squad. William Ernest "Ernie". Jones stands alongside Aubrey Powell (Everton), Wally Barnes (Arsenal), Trevor Ford (Aston Villa), Roy Clarke (Manchester City), and William Morris (Burnley). Their expressions reveal a mix of focus and camaraderie as they prepare themselves for what promises to be an intense battle against their English rivals. This photograph serves as a testament to the dedication these men had for their national team during that era. Preserved by Colorsport Images, this remarkable piece allows us to relive an important chapter in footballing heritage while honoring those who represented Wales with passion and skill on that memorable day in 1948.
