EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the 1959 Rugby League clash between Wigan and Hull at Wembley Stadium, three determined men unite to halt the unstoppable force that is Billy Boston. As Boston charges towards Hull's try line with unwavering determination, these brave defenders stand as a formidable wall, ready to tackle him head-on. The intensity of this moment is palpable; it captures the essence of rugby league at its finest. The sheer strength and power displayed by all involved epitomize the physicality and grit required to compete at such a high level. It showcases the relentless pursuit of victory that both teams brought to this historic encounter. Ultimately, it was Wigan who emerged triumphant with a resounding 30-13 victory over their rivals.

This image serves as a testament not only to the skill and tenacity exhibited by these athletes but also to the enduring legacy of rugby league in British sporting history. Preserved through time by Charlie Ley's lens, this snapshot transports us back to an era when sportsmanship and fierce competition reigned supreme on hallowed grounds like Wembley Stadium.
