In this iconic print captured during the 1956/1957 British Home Championship, we witness a historic moment in football history. England and Scotland face off at Wembley Stadium, with the scoreline ultimately favoring England with a 2-1 victory. However, it is not just the match itself that steals our attention. England's esteemed captain Billy Wright takes center stage as he introduces two influential figures to his teammates before kick-off.
