EDITORS COMMENTS
The Derby County team return home with the FA Cup trophy following their victory over Charlton Athletic in the Final at Wembley. The photograph captures a moment of pure jubilation as part of the huge crowd gathers outside the Derby police headquarters to welcome home their heroes. It is May 1st, 1946, and this image encapsulates the spirit of post-war celebration and triumph. In this snapshot from the past, we witness not only a victorious football team but also an entire community united in support and admiration for their local stars. The faces in the crowd reflect sheer joy and pride, as they wave flags and banners while eagerly awaiting a glimpse of their beloved players. The significance of this event cannot be understated; it symbolizes more than just a sporting achievement. In those challenging times, when hope was scarce, these footballers became symbols of resilience and determination for an entire town. Their success on that historic day brought much-needed happiness to countless lives. This print by Greaves transports us back to a time when sport had the power to unite people like never before. It serves as a reminder that even during difficult periods in history, moments of triumph can bring communities together like nothing else can. As we look upon this image today, let us celebrate not only the victory itself but also recognize its lasting impact on both sports culture and society as a whole.
