EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1948, capturing the essence of Reading Football Club during their Division Three South campaign. The team stands united, emanating a sense of camaraderie and determination that is palpable even through the lens. In this historic snapshot, we see the players lined up in two rows. At the back stand formidable figures such as D. Vigor, Les Henley, Leslie Gaunt (formerly known as Leslie Goldberg), Ian McBride, Joffre Jeff Gulliver, Fred Reeve, and Jack Oxberry - their trainer who has played an instrumental role in shaping their skills. The front row showcases more exceptional talent with Fred Fisher, Vic Barney, Magnus McGhee, Ronnie Dix - all ready to take on any challenge thrown at them. Bill Amor and Gordon Brice complete this remarkable lineup. Leslie Gaunt's presence holds special significance within this image; he was not only a talented player but also made history as both England's first Jewish representative at schoolboy level and Leeds United's first Jewish player. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph by Colorsport Images without mentioning its commercial use or association with any company – it serves as a poignant reminder of football's rich heritage and how it brings people together from different backgrounds to create unforgettable moments on the pitch.
