EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Merton Association XI football team from 1892-3, showcasing a significant moment in sports history. The image, taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, is now part of a private collection. The photograph was originally featured as an illustration for Joseph Foster's book "Oxford Men and their Colleges" published by James Parker in 1893. It offers a glimpse into the vibrant sporting culture that thrived within Oxford University during this era. In this snapshot, we see the determined faces of these young undergraduates who proudly represent Merton College. Their passion for the game shines through as they pose together with their teammates on the field. Led by notable players such as G. R. Wood, E. Slocock, W. C. Gosling, J. Ravenshaw, W. H Jones, B. Foley, C. Ashwin and A. L Nelson among others; this talented group showcases both skill and camaraderie. Football has always been an integral part of university life at Oxford and this image serves as a testament to its rich sporting heritage. The photo allows us to travel back in time and witness firsthand the enthusiasm that surrounded these early footballers. Preserved through meticulous photography techniques of the time period by F. M. S Parker; this historical artifact provides us with a window into not only Merton College's past but also into the broader context of sport at Oxford University during that era.
