EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the historic Wembley Stadium in May 1959. The image captures a momentous occasion as two legendary rugby league captains, E. Ashton of Wigan and J. Whiteley of Hull, lead their respective teams onto the hallowed field. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as fans fill the stands, eagerly awaiting the final clash between these formidable opponents. Both captains exude confidence and determination, their faces etched with focus and resolve. Ashton, on the left side of the frame, epitomizes leadership as he strides forward with his head held high. His presence commands respect from his teammates who follow closely behind him. On the right side stands Whiteley, equally resolute in his role as captain for Hull. He leads by example, inspiring his players to give their all in this monumental battle for glory. Little did anyone know at that moment that history was about to be made – Wigan would emerge victorious over Hull in an unforgettable display of skill and teamwork during the Rugby League Cup final. This remarkable photograph serves not only as a testament to these great athletes but also encapsulates an era when rugby league reigned supreme at Wembley Stadium during the vibrant 1950s. Mirrorpix has expertly captured this iconic sporting moment through its lens; allowing us to relive a time when legends were born on muddy pitches amidst roaring crowds - forever immortalized within this stunning print from Memory Lane
