EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1959, we witness a pivotal moment in football history as Italy's Mariani scores against England at the iconic Wembley Stadium. The intensity of the match is palpable as players from both teams give their all on the field. Captured with remarkable precision by Topham for Colorsport Images, the image showcases Mariani's exceptional skill and agility as he finds himself in prime position to strike. Positioned on the extreme right of the frame, his determination is evident as he prepares to unleash a powerful shot that will forever be etched in football folklore. As our gaze shifts towards the background, we notice Eddie Hopkinson, England's goalkeeper, who can only watch helplessly on his hands and knees as Mariani's shot sails past him into the net. The anguish on Hopkinson's face tells a story of frustration and disappointment. Standing behind him is Don Howe, England's right-back, whose expression reflects a mix of disbelief and determination to prevent any further goals. His presence adds an intriguing layer to this snapshot of sporting drama. This photograph not only captures a significant moment in international friendly football but also serves as a testament to Topham’s ability to freeze time and immortalize these fleeting moments that define sporting greatness.
