EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from the 1956 FA Cup Final, Manchester City goalkeeper Bert Trautmann lies injured in the goalmouth at Wembley Stadium. Supported by his teammate Dave Ewing, Trautmann's determination and bravery are evident despite the excruciating pain he must be enduring. The injury occurred after a challenge from Birmingham City's Peter Murphy, but little did anyone know at that moment that Trautmann had actually broken his neck. Astonishingly, he chose to continue playing and went on to produce a series of crucial saves in the final fifteen minutes of the game. This image captures not only a significant moment in football history but also exemplifies the indomitable spirit of athletes who push beyond their limits for their team's success. It serves as a reminder of how sports can transcend mere competition and become an embodiment of courage and resilience. Taken on May 5th, 1956, by Colorsport / Provincial Press, this photograph immortalizes one man's incredible sacrifice for his club. The intensity etched on Trautmann's face reflects both physical agony and unwavering determination—a testament to his commitment to Manchester City. Through this powerful image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by athletes throughout history who have pushed themselves beyond what seems possible for love of their sport and dedication to their teammates.
