Charlie Jones, Welsh international, and Charlie Preedy (right) and Arsenal Footballers - 1930. *THE family heirlooms from the careers of Wales and Cardiff City footballers Charlie Jones and Derrick Sullivan fetched more than £ 58, 000 at auction yesterday n almost double their pre-sale estimate of around £ 32, 000. Midfielder Jones won three First Division titles with Arsenal in the 1930s, while Sullivan outshone the legendary John Charles when Wales made the 1958 World Cup quarter-finals. Football Association of Wales (FAW) historian Ceri Stennett said: iThe Charlie Jones collection went for very, very big money, as I suspected it might because of the Arsenal connection. A Welsh Cup winner and two runner-up trophies [from Sullivanis career] were estimated at £ 80 to £ 100 and the hammer price was £ 1, 300.i

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of football history, featuring two legendary figures from the 1930s. In this remarkable image, we see Charlie Jones, a Welsh international player who made his mark as a midfielder for Arsenal Football Club. Standing beside him is Charlie Preedy, another talented Arsenal footballer from that era. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its portrayal of these esteemed athletes but also in the story it tells about their illustrious careers. Jones was an integral part of Arsenal's success during the 1930s, winning three First Division titles with the club. His skill and dedication on the field earned him recognition as one of Wales' finest players. Equally impressive is Preedy's contribution to Welsh football. He outshone even John Charles when Wales reached the quarter-finals of the 1958 World Cup – an achievement that speaks volumes about his talent and determination. Recently sold at auction for an astonishing £58,000 (nearly double its initial estimate), this print holds immense sentimental value for fans and collectors alike. It serves as a cherished family heirloom that pays homage to two extraordinary individuals who left an indelible mark on both English and Welsh football history. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded of their passion for the game and their enduring legacy within sports folklore.
