EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Ron Flowers of Wolverhampton Wanderers proudly represents England on the international stage. The image captures a moment in time during the 1950s or 1960s, an era when football was starting to gain mass popularity and the sport's elite players were regularly called up to play for their countries. Flowers, with his distinctive bald head and intense focus, is seen in mid-action, wearing the iconic Three Lions jersey with the number 6 on the back. His determined expression and strong posture suggest that he is in the midst of a crucial play, ready to defend his team's goal against formidable opponents. The photograph was taken during an England training session or perhaps a friendly match, as evidenced by the absence of spectators and the informal setting. Ron Flowers was a key member of the Wolverhampton Wanderers team that dominated English football during the 1950s and 1960s. He made his professional debut for the club in 1949 and went on to make over 400 appearances for them, earning the nickname "The Bald Eagle" due to his bald head and exceptional goalkeeping abilities. Flowers' impressive performances for Wolves earned him a total of 23 caps for England, making him one of the most capped goalkeepers in the history of the English national team. This photograph is a testament to Flowers' exceptional talent and dedication to the game. It also serves as a reminder of the rich history of English football and the iconic players who have graced the pitch over the decades. The photograph, taken by the Press Association (PA), is a valuable piece of sports history that continues to inspire and captivate football fans to this day.
