THE TOP PHOTOGRAPH: captures the immediate moment football Goalkeeping legend Bert Trautmann broke his neck in the Manchester City 1956 FA Cup Final. The black and white image bears Bert Trautmann’s signature in ink. (Bernhard Carl "Bert" Trautmann EK OBE BVO (22 October 1923 – 19 July 2013) was a German professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Manchester City from 1949 to 1964.In August 1933, he joined the Jungvolk, the junior section of the Hitler Youth. Trautmann joined the Luftwaffe early in the Second World War, and then served as a paratrooper. He was initially sent to Occupied Poland, and subsequently fought on the Eastern Front for three years, earning five medals, including an Iron Cross. Later in the war, he was transferred to the Western Front, where he was captured by the British as the war drew to a close. As a volunteer soldier, he was classified a category "C" prisoner by the authorities, meaning he was regarded as a Nazi. One of only 90 of his original 1,000-man regiment to survive the war, he was transferred to a prisoner-of-war camp in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Lancashire. Trautmann refused an offer of repatriation and following his release in 1948 decided to settle in Lancashire, combining farm work with playing goalkeeper for a local football team, St Helens Town. When Bert Trautmann arrived at Manchester City in 1949, 20,000 protested his signing. By the time he left, he was lauded as the bravest man in British sport. Over time he gained acceptance through his performances in the City goal, playing all but five of the club’s next 250 matches. Named Footballer of the Year for 1956, Trautmann entered football folklore with his performance in the 1956 FA Cup Final. With 17 minutes of the match remaining Trautmann suffered a serious injury after diving at the feet of Birmingham City’s Peter Murphy. Despite his injury he continued to play, making crucial saves to preserve his team’s 3–1 lead. His neck was noticeably crooked as he collected his winner’s medal; three days later an X-ray revealed it to be broken). THE CENTRE PHOTOGRAPH: is colour and captures one of the greatest cup winning goals of all time, Dennis Tueart scoring his famous overhead kick during City’s 2-1 over Newcastle in the 1976 League Cup Final. In a competition where more than 20,000 supporters cast their votes on the 50 golden moments as nominated on The Football League's special 50th anniversary website, Dennis Tueart's winning goal against Newcastle United for Manchester City in the 1976 League Cup Final was voted the greatest moment in the competition's history. The image bears Dennis Tuearts signature in ink. (Fans favourite Dennis Tueart signed for Manchester city in 1974. He scored 73 Goals in 173 matches for Manchester City). THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH: is black & white and captures Manchester City's Mike Summerbee flicking the ball over Newcastle United keeper Ian McFaul to give City the lead at St James Park in the 1967/1968 Division 1 Championship decider. Manchester City went on to win the match 3-4. The image bears Mike Summerbee’s signature in ink.
