EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in English football history as Albert, Duke of York, later King George VI, extends a warm handshake to the Newcastle United team before they took on Aston Villa in the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium in 1924. The Duke, who would later ascend to the throne in 1936, served as the President of the Football Association from 1920 to 1936, making him a prominent figure in the sport during this era. The FA Cup Final, the second to be held at the iconic Wembley Stadium, was a highly anticipated event in the 1920s, drawing large crowds and generating significant media attention. Newcastle United, dressed in their distinctive striped shirts, faced off against Aston Villa in a tense and closely contested match. The Duke's presence at the event added an air of regality and prestige to the occasion. As he shakes hands with the Newcastle United players, he offers them his encouragement and support, a gesture that no doubt boosted their morale before taking to the pitch. The team went on to win the final, securing their place in football history and adding to the Duke's enduring legacy as a patron of the sport. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the excitement and energy of a bygone era in football and providing a unique insight into the role of the monarchy in British sporting culture.
