EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Corinthian F. C. team group before their match against West Bromwich Albion in the 1931/32 football season. The players stand tall, exuding confidence and determination as they prepare to take on their opponents. In the back row, we see some notable figures of the Corinthian squad. Claude Thesiger Ashton, a true sportsman who excelled in football, hockey, and cricket during his time at Cambridge University. Tommy W. Whewell stands beside him, a seasoned player who not only captained Cambridge but also represented England Amateur side while playing for Blackburn and Charlton. The front row showcases Aubrey Howard Fabian, a multi-talented athlete who played both football and cricket for Cambridge University before making appearances for Fulham. George Thomas Ansell is also present; he had successful stints with Brighton, Norwich, Southampton alongside his Corinthian career. Edgar Donald Shearer's presence adds prestige to this line-up as he represented Great Britain at the 1936 Olympic Games in football and even played cricket for Ireland. Herbert Vyvian Benest completes this remarkable group; after his time with Corinthian F. C. , he served as Viscount of Jersey from 1946-74. It is worth noting that in 1939 Corinthians merged with Casuals to form Corinthian-Casuals Football Club (not affiliated with any commercial entity). This historical photograph was captured by Colorsport/Wilkes from Colorsport Images - an image that immortalizes these talented athletes forever.
