Great image capturing the jubilant moment when Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club's captain, Billy Wright, lifted the FA Cup aloft following their triumphant 3-1 victory over Leicester City in 1949. The black-and-white photograph, taken by the Press Association (PA), beautifully encapsulates the elation and pride on Wright's face as he holds the coveted trophy, surrounded by his teammates in their iconic gold and black stripes. This iconic moment marked a significant milestone in the history of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, as they secured their first FA Cup title. The team, managed by Stan Cullis, had faced a tough challenge from Leicester City at Wembley Stadium, but ultimately emerged victorious, with goals from Dennis Stevens, Stan Cullis, and Billy Wright securing their place in the annals of football history. Billy Wright, a local hero and future England captain, was a key figure in the team's success. His leadership and defensive prowess were instrumental in their dominance of English football during the 1940s and 1950s. This FA Cup triumph was just one of many accolades for the team during this period, which also included three League Championships and an FA Charity Shield. The photograph is a testament to the passion and determination of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club and their fans, who continue to celebrate this iconic moment in the club's history. The image serves as a reminder of the rich footballing heritage of the Midlands and the enduring legacy of Billy Wright and his teammates.
