The artist, Ralph Cleaver, skillfully portrays a moment frozen in time, allowing us to witness this historic event. In the foreground, we see football players from Sheffield United and Derby engaged in an animated conversation. Their expressions reveal their determination and focus as they strategize for victory. The goalkeeper stands tall, ready to defend his team's goal with unwavering resolve. Surrounding them are various figures that add depth to the scene - a member of parliament engrossed in the match, trophies proudly displayed, a signalman ensuring smooth operations, and a guard keeping watch over proceedings. Even an enthusiastic photographer can be seen capturing this memorable occasion.

It serves as a testament to how sports can bring people together from all walks of life – politicians rubbing shoulders with ordinary citizens; united by their love for soccer.
