EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the thrilling 1973 FA Cup Final between Sunderland and Leeds United. The image freezes a moment that would forever be etched in football history - Jim Montgomery's legendary double save at Wembley. As the tension mounted on that fateful day, with both teams vying for glory, it was Montgomery who emerged as the hero of the match. With lightning reflexes and unwavering determination, he defied all odds and denied Leeds United not once but twice in quick succession. The intensity of the scene is palpable as Montgomery dives towards his left to block Peter Lorimer's powerful strike. But just when it seemed like fate had smiled upon him, another shot came thundering towards goal from Trevor Cherry. In an astonishing display of agility and athleticism, Montgomery somehow managed to parry away Cherry's effort with an outstretched arm. This remarkable double save became synonymous with courage under pressure and showcased Montgomery's exceptional skills as a goalkeeper. It encapsulated the essence of what makes football such a captivating sport - moments where ordinary individuals rise above themselves to achieve extraordinary feats. Colorsport Images has immortalized this unforgettable moment through their expertly printed photo. As we gaze upon it today, we cannot help but marvel at Jim Montgomery's indomitable spirit and relive one of English football's most cherished memories.
