EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic aerial photograph, Wembley Stadium in London is seen bustling with activity on the day of the FA Cup Final on April 28, 1923. The first FA Cup Final to be held at the iconic stadium was marked by disorderly scenes before the match even began. The image reveals a massive crowd gathered outside the stadium, with people rushing the gates, bursting through the barriers, and swarming onto the pitch. The chaos caused a delay of 45 minutes before kick-off, as mounted police attempted to encourage the crowd to move behind the touchlines. An estimated 200,000 fans had squeezed into Wembley to witness the highly anticipated football match. Despite the chaotic start to the day, Bolton Wanderers emerged as the victors, defeating West Ham United with a score of 2-0. The FA Cup Final of 1923 remains an iconic moment in English football history, with this aerial photograph offering a unique perspective on the scene that unfolded that day. Taken from a copy negative by Aerofilms, this photograph is a testament to the passion and excitement that surrounded football in the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of the sport and the memorable moments that continue to shape it today. This photograph is part of the Aerofilms Collection held by Historic England, providing a valuable record of England's past and a glimpse into the history of Wembley Stadium.
