EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Charlie Ley, we are transported back to the Rugby League Cup Final at Wembley on May 11th, 1963. The image captures a defining moment in the game as Wigan full back Bolton lies motionless on the ground, concussed after the half time whistle had blown. The intensity of the match is palpable through Ley's lens, with players from both teams frozen in action around their fallen comrade. The referee stands nearby, his concerned gaze fixed upon Bolton as he assesses the situation. This snapshot encapsulates not only a physical injury but also highlights the grit and determination that rugby league players possess. It serves as a reminder of how these athletes put their bodies on the line for their sport. Ley's photograph transports us to an era when sports photography was raw and unfiltered – capturing moments that would otherwise be lost to time. Through his lens, we witness not just a sporting event but also an emotional narrative unfolding before our eyes. As we admire this piece from Memory Lane Prints, let us take a moment to appreciate those who have dedicated themselves to their craft and honor those who have made sacrifices for their love of sport.
