EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from The Northcliffe Collection, we find ourselves transported back in time to the hallowed grounds of Murrayfield Stadium during the Scotland versus England rugby match on February 13, 1948. The Five Nations Championship encounter, also known as the Six Nations Championship in modern times, was a highly anticipated event in the rugby calendar. The Calcutta Cup was at stake, adding an extra layer of intensity to the already fierce rivalry between these two historic rugby nations. At the heart of the action is Micky Steele-Bodger, the Scottish fly-half, who is seen in mid-play, poised to deliver a pass with an air of determination and focus in his eyes. Steele-Bodger, a key figure in Scottish rugby, was renowned for his skill and precision on the field. His ability to control the game from the fly-half position was a crucial factor in Scotland's 6-3 victory over their English counterparts that day. The crowd, a sea of passionate supporters, can be seen in the background, their faces etched with excitement and anticipation. The atmosphere is electric, the tension palpable. The weather, typical of a Scottish winter, adds to the overall sense of drama, with rain falling gently on the pitch, leaving puddles and making the conditions challenging for both teams. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of rugby in Scotland and England, a reminder of the passion, skill, and determination that has defined this iconic sport for generations. It is a snapshot of a moment in time, frozen forever in The Northcliffe Collection, waiting to be rediscovered and appreciated by rugby enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
