EDITORS COMMENTS
Alfred Shrubb, affectionately known as "Alfie," is captured in this historic photograph as the undisputed king of long-distance running. With an impressive career spanning over two decades, Shrubb's dominance in the sport is evident from the numerous trophies, cups, medals, medallions, and clocks adorning the shelves behind him. In his prime, Shrubb was nearly unbeatable, claiming victory in all major races between 2,000 yards and 15 miles. His impressive win record exceeded 1,000 races, with only a handful of defeats. These losses typically came at the one-mile distance or in marathons, where his expertise was not as pronounced. Shrubb's legacy in the world of athletics is further emphasized by the various awards and accolades displayed in this image, including lanterns, cups, and cutlery, which were common prizes for long-distance runners during that era. This photograph serves as a testament to Shrubb's historical significance as a champion long-distance runner and his indelible mark on the sport.
