EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1955/1956 football season, where the Football Association Amateur XI faced off against West Bromwich Albion Youth. The image captures a moment of unity and determination as the FA Amateur XI team group gathers before kick-off on November 26th, 1955. Standing tall at the back row from left to right are S. Benson representing Lincolnshire, T. Greaves from Staffs, G. Aldwinckle hailing from Leicestershire, K. Haines proudly donning his Leices jersey, E. Pugh representing Birm and A. E Acton also from Leices. The front row showcases more talented players including B. Newman who represents Norfolk with pride, J. Richmond showcasing his skills for Derbyshire, W. Boyd and F. Hinton both shining stars of Birmingham County, and R. Middlemas standing strong for Northamptonshire. This powerful image not only captures a significant moment in football history but also serves as a reminder of the passion and dedication that these amateur players possessed during an era when professionalism was not yet widespread in football. Colorsport / Wilkes has masterfully preserved this snapshot of sporting excellence through their timeless photography expertise. Their commitment to preserving such iconic moments allows us to relive these historical events even decades later.
