EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1949, a time when football was played with pure passion and grit. The image captures the Stockport County team group moments before kick-off at Haig Avenue on Christmas Eve in 1949. Standing tall in their iconic jerseys, these men exude determination and unity as they prepare for battle against Southport. The backdrop of the stadium adds an air of anticipation to the scene, with spectators eagerly awaiting what promises to be a thrilling match. The players are introduced from left to right: James McGuigan, William McGann, Bevil Glover, John Bowles, Joseph Joe Sanaghan, and Alexander Paterson form a formidable defensive line-up at the back. Their unwavering commitment is evident in their focused expressions. In front of them stand Alex Herd, Les Cocker, William McCulloch, Thomas Swinscoe, and William Robinson - each player radiating confidence and skill that has brought them success throughout this season. This photograph not only immortalizes these talented individuals but also serves as a reminder of the rich history behind Stockport County Football Club. It symbolizes an era where football was played purely for love of the game; where teamwork triumphed over individual brilliance. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time by Colorsport / Provincial Press photographers' lens - we can't help but feel connected to those who came before us; those who paved the way for future generations of footballers.
