EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1950 when Wales clashed with the IFA Ireland XI in the British Home Championship. The image captures a moment of unity and determination as the Wales Team Group gathers before their game at the historic Racecourse Ground in Wrexham. Standing tall at the back, we see an impressive lineup of players including R. W. Rees from Tottenham, A. Sherwood representing Cardiff, John Charles making his international debut for Leeds, W. Shortt from Plymouth, Roy Burgess donning Tottenham's colors, and R. Paul proudly representing Swansea. In front of them stands H. Williams from Leeds alongside Trevor Ford from Aston Villa, Wally Barnes wearing Arsenal's jersey with pride, F. Scrine showcasing his skills for Swansea, and R. Clarke representing Manchester City. Notably significant about this match is that it marked the last time that Belfast-based IFA fielded an all-Ireland team – a piece of football history captured within this remarkable photograph. With its timeless appeal and striking composition by Colorsport Images, this print serves as a powerful reminder of both national pride and sporting excellence during one of football's most celebrated eras - truly a must-have for any passionate fan or collector who appreciates these iconic moments frozen in time.
