The match between West Bromwich Albion and Birmingham City was not just any ordinary game; it was a Midlands derby that would forever be etched in the memories of fans.

Standing proudly alongside his fellow players, Glidden extends a respectful handshake to the Duke, symbolizing both respect for royalty and camaraderie within the sport. This photograph perfectly encapsulates the spirit of sportsmanship and tradition that defined football during this era. It serves as a reminder of how even amidst fierce competition on the pitch, there was always room for mutual respect and admiration off it.
