EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1947, capturing the essence of Reading Football Club during their Division Three South campaign. The team stands tall and proud, a testament to their dedication and passion for the game. In this historic snapshot, we see the players arranged in two rows. At the back, Thomas McKenna, Leslie Gaunt (formerly known as Leslie Goldberg), Cyril O'Sullivan, Ted Drake (the manager), Joffre Jeff Gulliver, and Jack Oxberry (the trainer) exude confidence. In front of them stand Fred Fisher, Maurice Edelston, Magnus McPhee, Mr. W. Lee (the chairman), Archie Taylor, Jackie Deverall, and Beau Ratcliffe. The atmosphere is palpable as they pose on the hallowed ground that has witnessed countless battles fought with skill and determination. Ron Moyse and Les Henry complete this formidable lineup. Notably among them is Leslie Gaunt who holds a significant place in football history as he was not only the first Jewish player to represent England at schoolboy level but also made his mark by playing for Leeds United. This remarkable photograph serves as a reminder of an era when football was played with grit and camaraderie. Colorsport Images has beautifully preserved this moment in time so that future generations can appreciate the rich heritage of Reading Football Club's past achievements.
