This is an original press shot of Blackpool FC captain Harry Johnston lifting the FA Cup following the famous ’53 Matthews final where they beat Bolton 4 – 3.
Matthews didn’t actually score in the game, but inspired his team to an inspiring fightback from 3 – 1 down, with Stan Mortensen scoring the only hat-trick in an FA Cup final at the old Wembley stadium in the process.
Behind Johnston is Scottish born keeper George Farm, waiting his turn to be greeted by Queen Elizabeth II.
