This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of York City in 1951. The year was marked by thrilling football matches, with this particular snapshot capturing a significant moment from the 1951/1952 Third Division (North) season. The match between Southport and York City on September 11th, 1951, at Haig Avenue Stadium is frozen in time through this remarkable image. The photograph showcases the unity and determination of the York City team as they pose together for their group shot. Standing tall at the back are Joseph Spence, Alan Stewart, Desmond Thompson, Ronald Spence, Leslie Porter, and John Simpson - each player exuding confidence and strength. In front of them stand John Linaker, Gordon Brown, Alfred Patrick, Matthew Patrick, and William "Billy". Fenton - their faces reflecting both anticipation and focus. As we delve into this historical piece captured by Colorsport / Provincial Press photographers during an era untouched by commercialization frenzy or digital enhancements; we can almost hear the cheers echoing from passionate fans who filled every corner of Haig Avenue that day. This print serves as a powerful reminder of not only a specific game but also encapsulates the spirit of camaraderie shared among teammates who fought tirelessly for victory on that fateful afternoon in September over seven decades ago.
