EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1946, a time when Sunderland AFC was on the cusp of a new era. As the dust settled after years of war, football slowly but surely returned to its rightful place in society. This image captures that pivotal moment, immediately after the cessation of hostilities. In this historic photograph, we see three pre-war players who played an instrumental role in shaping Sunderland's future success. On the left stands Arthur Wright, his determined gaze reflecting his dedication to the game. In the middle is Len Duns, exuding confidence as he prepares for what lies ahead. And on the right is Arthur Housam, whose presence radiates strength and resilience. These talented individuals would soon be joined by other stars, forming what would later become known as Sunderland's legendary Bank of England Team. Their combined skills and unwavering passion for football propelled them to great heights in subsequent years. As we delve into this snapshot from memory lane, it serves as a reminder not only of Sunderland AFC's rich history but also of how sport has always been able to bring people together during times of turmoil and uncertainty. This print by ncjMedia Ltd offers us a glimpse into a significant chapter in football's normalization post-war – an enduring testament to the indomitable spirit that defines both club and community alike.
