In this poignant print captured by Colorsport Images, we witness a defining moment in the illustrious career of Lancashire captain Bill Beaumont. It was during his last ever match in 1982, as part of the Rugby Union - 1981 / 1982 Thorn EMI County Championship between North Midlands and Lancashire at The Reddings, Moseley. The image freezes time at the exact moment when Beaumont is being assisted off the field during the 37th minute of the game. His face reflects a mixture of pain and disappointment, encapsulating the emotional toll that injuries can take on even the most resilient athletes. This unfortunate incident ultimately led to Beaumont's untimely retirement from rugby. A true legend of his era, he had been an indomitable force on countless fields throughout his career.
