EDITORS COMMENTS
Great photo captures a pivotal moment in Wolverhampton Wanderers' football history, as Kenny Hibbitt scores the opening goal against Manchester City in the League Cup Final on April 2,1974. The image, taken by PA Photos, transports us back to the 1970s, a time when football was simple, passionate, and full of excitement. The scene is set at Wembley Stadium, the home of English football, where the best teams in the country compete for prestigious trophies. The atmosphere is electric, with thousands of fans from both sides cheering and chanting for their teams. The players, dressed in their iconic kits, are focused and determined to bring glory to their clubs. In the center of the photo, we see Kenny Hibbitt, a key player for Wolverhampton Wanderers, about to celebrate his goal. He is surrounded by his teammates, including Derek Dougan, who is jumping in the air, and Manchester City players Mike Doyle and Tommy Booth, who are trying to prevent the goal or at least limit the damage. Manchester City goalkeeper Keith MacRae is diving to his left, but it's too late. The ball has found the back of the net, giving Wolverhampton Wanderers a valuable lead in the first half. This goal was significant because it set the tone for the rest of the match, which ended in a 3-2 victory for Wolverhampton Wanderers. It was their first major trophy since 1960, and it marked the beginning of a new era for the club. The photo is a reminder of the passion, determination, and teamwork that football requires, and it encapsulates the excitement and drama of a cup final at Wembley.
