EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a historic moment in English football history. It captures the England Football Team lined up at Old Trafford, Manchester, just moments before their highly anticipated Home International match against the Republic of Ireland on November 16th, 1938. The atmosphere is electric as the players stand tall and proud, ready to showcase their skills on the pitch. The home team's victory by an impressive seven goals to nil is evident in their determined expressions. A standout performance from Tottenham Hotspur star Willie Hall saw him score an incredible five goals during this memorable match. In this group photograph, we see the unity and camaraderie among these talented athletes who proudly represent their respective clubs and country. The back row features notable figures such as Kenneth Willingham of Huddersfield Town, Stanley Cullis of Wolves, goalkeeper Victor Woodley representing Chelsea, William Morris also from Wolves, Joe Mercer of Everton, and Captain Eddie Hapgood hailing from Arsenal. The front row showcases some legendary names in English football history including Stanley Matthews from Stoke City alongside Willie Hall himself representing Tottenham Hotspur. Tommy Lawton of Everton stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Eric Stephenson from Leeds United (tragically killed in Burma during World War II), while Reggie Smith proudly represents Millwall. This remarkable print serves as a poignant reminder of a time when sport brought people together amidst challenging times like World War II.
