EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured by Colorsport Images, we witness the dramatic moment when Ray Wood, the Manchester United goalkeeper, is forced to leave the field injured during the 1957 FA Cup Final. The intense match between Aston Villa and Manchester United took place at Wembley Stadium. The image depicts Wood being escorted off the pitch by physio Ted Dalton after a brutal shoulder-barge from Aston Villa's Peter McParland. The impact of the collision left Wood unconscious and with a broken cheekbone. With no substitutes allowed in those days, teammate Jackie Blanchflower had to step up and take over as goalkeeper for Manchester United. This photograph encapsulates not only the physicality and intensity of football but also highlights how injuries can dramatically alter a game's outcome. It serves as a reminder of both the bravery displayed by players on such occasions and their vulnerability to unexpected accidents that can change their careers in an instant. Colorsport Images has expertly captured this historic moment in football history, immortalizing it through their high-quality photo print. This image stands as a testament to both Ray Wood's resilience and his team's determination despite facing adversity on one of English football's grandest stages.
