In this evocative photograph, Ted Duckhouse of Birmingham City Football Club stands proudly on the pitch at White Hart Lane, London, during a Wartime League South match against Tottenham Hotspur. The image, captured by the renowned sports photography archives of Barratts, transports us back in time to the era of football during World War II. Duckhouse, a versatile player, is seen here in his Birmingham City jersey, number 12 emblazoned on his back. His determined expression and focused gaze convey the intensity and passion that defined the spirit of football during those challenging times. The backdrop of the empty stands and the somber atmosphere add to the sense of historical significance and the unique circumstances under which the game was played. The Wartime League South was formed in 1939 as a response to the suspension of the Football League due to the outbreak of World War II. The competition provided an outlet for football clubs to continue playing, with matches being held at various neutral venues around the country. The league allowed players, fans, and the wider community to come together and find solace in the game they loved amidst the hardships of war. This photograph of Ted Duckhouse, taken during a Wartime League South match between Birmingham City and Tottenham Hotspur, serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and enduring spirit of football during a time of adversity. It is a testament to the power of sport to bring people together and provide a sense of normalcy in the face of extraordinary circumstances.
