EDITORS COMMENTS
Tom Finney, the legendary outside right footballer of Preston North End and the English national team, is captured in this stunning photograph from the 1940s. Dressed in his white football kit, Finney is seen outside the stadium, casually holding a black football under his arm, as if ready for a moment's practice or a quick warm-up. The image captures the essence of the footballer's grace and agility, with his focused expression and poised stance suggesting the intensity and determination that made him a star player. Finney's career with Preston North End spanned over two decades, from 1946 to 1960, during which he scored an impressive 210 goals in 473 appearances. He was also a key member of the English national team, earning 76 caps and scoring 30 goals between 1947 and 1957. Finney's skill and versatility on the pitch earned him the nickname "The Magic Smoke" and made him a fan favorite. This photograph was taken in 1949, an era when football was still a largely amateur sport, and the game was played in front of passionate and dedicated spectators. The image captures the excitement and energy of the sport, with the stadium in the background filled with eager fans, all watching intently as their heroes take to the field. Tom Finney's influence on the game went beyond his impressive statistics and on-field performances. He was known for his sportsmanship and fair play, and his dedication to the game inspired generations of footballers to come. This photograph is a testament to his enduring legacy and the passion and love for the beautiful game that continues to this day.
