Summary

[edit]
Description

On May 13 1973 English football (soccer) team Stoke City played a friendly against Wellington at the Basin Reserve in Wellington, New Zealand. The ground is more known for hosting cricket matches but has been home to both rugby and football throughout its history. The friendly finished 5-1 in favour of Stoke City. Stoke were touring New Zealand after finishing their Division 1 season in England where they had finished 15th in the table. Other matches played in New Zealand were games against Auckland, Canterbury and Otago.

Shown here are Stoke City players George Eastham scoring a goal and two pictures of Stoke City striker John Ritchie. George Eastham played for England and was part of the squad who won the 1966 World Cup. John Ritchie holds the record for most goals scored for Stoke City with 176 goals.

The images were taken by the National Publicity Studios. At the end of the Second World War, publicity became the responsibility of the Information Section of the Prime Minister's Department. The purpose of the National Publicity Studios was to provide advice to government departments and state agencies on the provision of photographic, art, and display services and in particular to assist in the production of publicity material aimed at conveying a favourable image of New Zealand. The National Publicity Studios was divided into two main sections: Photographic - comprising photographers, a laboratory, a photo library and facilities for audio-visual productions & Art - comprising graphic art, display art, display workshops and silkscreen.
