EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Middlesbrough FC Team, proudly holding aloft the Football Association Amateur Championship Cup they had triumphantly won in the 1894-95 season. The team, composed of Gettins, Wilson, Cooper, Piercy, Murphy, Nelmes, Morren, Bach, Allport, Johnson, and Mullen, stands in a semi-circle, each player exuding confidence and determination. Dressed in their smart, high-collared shirts and knickers, they embody the spirit of late Victorian sportsmanship. The Football Association Amateur Championship Cup was a prestigious competition for amateur football teams in England, and Middlesbrough FC's victory marked a significant moment in the club's history. The team had formed in 1876, and their dedication and skill on the pitch had earned them a place among the best amateur teams in the country. The photograph, taken in the 1890s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The players' serious expressions and focused gazes convey a sense of intensity and commitment to their sport, while their smart attire and tidy appearance reflect the pride and professionalism of the time. As holders of the Amateur Championship Cup, Middlesbrough FC's reputation as a formidable football team was cemented. This photograph serves as a testament to their achievements and the importance of sportsmanship and teamwork in late Victorian society.
