EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, Preston North End's (PNE) legendary footballer Sir Tom Finney is seen being tackled by Alan Daniel, a defender from Luton Town, during his last game for the club on April 2, 1960. The image captures a moment of determination as Finney, dressed in the iconic deep blue and white stripes of Preston North End, battles for the ball with Daniel amidst the chaos of the football field. Despite being marked out of the game by the opposition, Finney's influence on the match was not entirely diminished. The team, led by the indomitable spirit of their star player, managed to secure a 2-0 victory over Luton Town, with goals from Jim Smith and Alex Alston. The triumphant result was a fitting farewell for Finney, who had spent his entire professional career with Preston North End, amassing an impressive 462 appearances and scoring 187 goals between 1946 and 1960. The photograph was taken by renowned sports photographer Howard Talbot, who captured the essence of the game and the emotion of the moment. The image is a testament to Finney's unwavering commitment to the sport, even in the face of adversity. The crowd of 29,781 spectators, who filled the stands that day, bore witness to a footballing legend's final bow on the pitch. This photograph serves as a reminder of Tom Finney's enduring legacy in English football and his indelible impact on Preston North End Football Club.
