EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Royal Arsenal Football Team in the late 1890s, a period of great significance in the history of English football. The team, based in Woolwich, London, was one of the earliest and most successful football clubs in the country. The team's line-up includes some of the most famous footballers of the era, such as Jenkyns (captain), Davis, Boyle, Gavin Crawford, Mills, Hare, Gordon, Buchanan, Mortimer, Howatt, Storer, Caldwell, and Ward. Among the team members, special mention goes to O'Brien in goal and McAvoy, the trainer, who played a crucial role in the team's success. The Royal Arsenal Football Club was formed in 1886 by employees of the Royal Arsenal munitions factory. The team quickly gained popularity and success, winning the FA Cup in 1891 and the Southern League Championship in 1893. The team's distinctive red and white striped jerseys, which can be seen in this photograph, became an iconic symbol of the club's identity. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique insight into the lives of these early footballers and the sporting culture of the late 1890s. The team's determination, focus, and camaraderie are evident in their expressions and body language, making this photograph a must-have for any football or sports history enthusiast.
