EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Sheffield United football team, finalists in the FA Cup competition of 1901. The team, dressed in their iconic red and white stripes, stands proudly in a semi-circle, gazing confidently at the camera. Their opponents, Tottenham Hotspur, had been defeated in the earlier rounds, but the FA Cup final was not an easy victory for Sheffield United. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, forcing a replay which ultimately saw Tottenham emerge as the winners. The image is part of the Association Cup Winners Players Cigarettes card set, produced around 1930. This set, which featured football stars of the time, served as a testament to the enduring popularity of the sport and the FA Cup competition in particular. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of football and the teams that have shaped its rich and complex narrative. Sheffield United, founded in 1889, was one of the earliest professional football clubs in England. The team's impressive run in the FA Cup competition in 1901 marked a significant moment in its history, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the team's achievements and the passion that drives the beautiful game.
