EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of York City in 1953. The image captures a significant moment in football history, specifically the Third Division (North) match between Southport and York City on January 23rd, 1954. The focus of the photograph is the united York City team group standing proudly at Haig Avenue stadium. In their distinctive jerseys, they exude determination and camaraderie as they prepare for battle on the pitch. The players are arranged in two rows, with five individuals forming a strong defensive line at the back: Percy Andrews, Gordon Brown, Harold Searson, Fred Marlow, and Matthew Patrick. In front of them stands another six players who possess both skill and passion for the game: John Linaker, Campbell Cam Burgess, William Hughes, Alan Stewart, Dave Dunmore, and Charles Ware. Their expressions reveal a mix of excitement and concentration before kickoff. This remarkable snapshot not only immortalizes these talented athletes but also serves as a testament to an era when football was played with raw intensity and genuine love for the sport. Preserved by Colorsport Images from Provincial Press archives, this piece offers viewers an opportunity to step into history's shoes while celebrating one city's dedication to its beloved team - York City Football Club.
