EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic print from 1931, we see HRH The Prince of Wales, who would later become Edward VIII, paying a visit to the victorious West Bromwich Albion Football Club. Just a month prior to this momentous occasion, the club had emerged as champions of the prestigious FA Cup. The picture captures an important exchange between the Prince and Fred Everiss, the esteemed Club Secretary of West Bromwich Albion. Both men are seen shaking hands at The Hawthorns stadium, where countless football dreams have been realized over the years. It is worth noting that on this particular day, His Royal Highness was engaged in touring various factories within Birmingham's district. However, he took time out of his busy schedule to honor and celebrate the achievements of these talented athletes. This image serves as a testament to both sporting excellence and royal patronage. It encapsulates a significant moment in British history when football united people across all social classes and backgrounds. Colorsport Images has expertly preserved this snapshot from our past for future generations to admire and appreciate. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded not only of West Bromwich Albion's triumph but also of how sport can bring individuals together under one common passion - regardless of their station in life or societal status.
