In this iconic photograph, Everton Football Club's captain Brian Labone proudly displays the FA Cup, his team having triumphed over Sheffield Wednesday with a thrilling 3-2 victory at Wembley Stadium. The year was 1966, and the FA Cup final was a hotly contested affair, with both teams giving their all on the pitch. As the final whistle blew, the elation on Labone's face was evident as he lifted the coveted trophy above his head, a broad smile spreading across his face. But there was something else in his hand that added an extra layer of significance to the moment. Nestled in the crook of his arm was a small, furry mascot, a lucky charm that Labone had carried with him throughout the match. The charm, a cuddly toy elephant named Elmer, had become a beloved good luck symbol for the Everton team, and Labone was not about to leave it behind on this momentous occasion. Princess Margaret, representing the Football Association, presented the FA Cup to Labone, who graciously accepted it with both hands. The image of Labone, the FA Cup atop his head, and Elmer in his arm, is one that has become synonymous with Everton Football Club's rich history and the team's unwavering spirit. It is a testament to the power of belief, the importance of tradition, and the enduring bond between a team and its fans. This photograph is a reminder of the passion, determination, and pride that comes with being part of a football club, and the special moments that can never be forgotten. It is a moment of triumph, of joy, and of luck, all rolled into one unforgettable image.
