David Corbett and his wife Jeanne with Pickles the dog, pictured at Assessors, Toplis and Harding, Finsbury Circus, to stake their claim for the reward for the finding by Pickles of the World Cup. Crowds of city office workers were anxious to see Pickles when he left the building. However, it was a gloomier Mr and Mrs Corbett who left Assessors because they had learned there had been a counter claim for the reward money by Joe Mears, chairmen of Chelsea Football Club and The Football Association.

EDITORS COMMENTS
David Corbett and his wife Jeanne, accompanied by their beloved dog Pickles, arrive at Assessors in Toplis and Harding, Finsbury Circus to claim the reward for Pickles' remarkable discovery of the World Cup. The couple is met with eager anticipation from a crowd of city office workers who are anxious to catch a glimpse of the famous canine hero. As Pickles leaves the building, he becomes an instant sensation among dog lovers and well-wishers alike. However, amidst this excitement, Mr. and Mrs. Corbett's joy is dampened when they learn that Joe Mears, chairman of Chelsea Football Club and The Football Association, has also made a counterclaim for the reward money. This unexpected turn casts a gloom over their faces as they leave Assessors. Captured on 30th March 1966 in London during the vibrant era of the 1960s, this photograph immortalizes not only David Corbett's determination to stake his claim but also showcases the unwavering support from those who admire Pickles' incredible achievement. This image serves as a reminder of how animals can captivate our hearts and bring communities together in celebration. It stands as a testament to Pickles' extraordinary abilities while shedding light on the bittersweet journey faced by David Corbett and his wife Jeanne during this historic moment.
