EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Millwall Athletic Football Team in the late 1890s, a time when football was beginning to gain immense popularity in England. The team, consisting of Lindsay, Gordon, Law, Dewar, Stopher, Kidd, King, Matthew, Graham, Davis, Matthews, Higson, Jones, Whelan, Geddes, McInroy, Saunders, Clark, Rhodes, Leatherbarrow, and Beveridge, displays an impressive lineup of talented sportsmen. Dressed in their iconic blue and white striped shirts, the team members are seen posing confidently on the steps of what appears to be a grandstand, each holding a football or standing next to one. The image exudes a sense of camaraderie and determination, reflecting the team spirit that was essential to the success of football clubs during this era. Millwall Athletic Football Club, founded in 1885, had already made a name for itself in the football world by the late 1890s. The team competed in the Southern League and reached the FA Cup Final in 1897, where they lost to Sunderland. The players in this photograph represent some of the best talent of the team during this period, including future England internationals such as Billy Garraty (Davis) and Tommy Law (Law). The photograph also showcases the evolution of football as a sport, with the team holding a shield and a trophy, symbolizing their achievements on the field. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Millwall Athletic Football Club and the rich tradition of football in England during the late Victorian era.
