A late first half goal from Tom Finney was all that separated England and Wales in their British Championship match at Villa Park on 10th November 1948.
This souvenir programme has been signed by the full England squad, which included some of he finest names ever to grace a football field including Stan Mortensen, Stanley Matthews.
Poor Laurie Scott had not long returned to football after a bout of Appendicitis before suffering a knee injury in this game.
He didn’t play again for the rest of the 1948/49 season, and his appearances for Arsenal were limited in the season’s soon after.
