EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1973, where two rugby legends share a moment of triumph. Baron Wakefield of Kendal, President of Harlequins Rugby Club at the time, stands tall and dignified as he presents The Wavell Wakefield trophy to Mike Gibson. As captain of the North of Ireland team, Gibson's face is etched with pride and gratitude for this prestigious honor. The image captures not only a significant sporting achievement but also pays homage to the rich history and tradition that surrounds rugby union. Baron Wakefield's presence in this photograph serves as a reminder of his immense contributions to both Harlequins and the sport itself. Having previously held the position of President for the Rugby Football Union (RFU) in 1950, his influence on shaping English rugby cannot be understated. Beyond their roles within rugby, both men had remarkable careers outside the sport. While Baron Wakefield was an esteemed Conservative Member of Parliament from 1935 to 1963, Mike Gibson left an indelible mark on Irish rugby during his illustrious career. This beautifully captured moment symbolizes more than just a trophy presentation; it represents camaraderie between sportsmen who have dedicated their lives to excellence on and off the field. It is through photographs like these that we can appreciate not only great sporting achievements but also celebrate individuals who have made lasting contributions to their respective fields.
