EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary Maurice Edelston during his time with Reading Football Club in the 1951/1952 season. With a focused gaze and an air of determination, Edelston epitomizes the spirit of a true athlete. A versatile player, he not only showcased his skills at Reading but also left an indelible mark on Brentford and Fulham throughout his illustrious career. His talent extended beyond club football as he proudly represented Great Britain in the prestigious 1936 Berlin Olympics. After hanging up his boots, Edelston seamlessly transitioned into a new role as a BBC sport commentator, where his insightful analysis and charismatic voice became synonymous with sporting events across the nation. His expertise was particularly evident when he served as a summariser during England's historic victory in the 1966 World Cup Final. Dated December 5th, 1951, this photograph is more than just a snapshot frozen in time; it encapsulates Edelston's unwavering dedication to both playing and promoting the beautiful game. As we admire this image today, we are reminded of his remarkable journey from being an accomplished footballer to becoming an influential figure within sports broadcasting. Colorsport Images has once again captured history through their lens by immortalizing Maurice Edelston's legacy for generations to come.
