EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured on the 25th of April, 1925, we are transported back in time to witness a devoted football supporter's journey from Wales to London. The image depicts a Cardiff City FC fan, filled with hope and anticipation, purchasing a leek for good luck upon her arrival in the bustling city. As she prepares to watch her beloved team take on Sheffield United FC in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium, her determination is palpable. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the essence of football fandom during that era - an unwavering dedication that transcended geographical boundaries. Despite being away from home soil, this passionate supporter carries with her a symbol of Welsh heritage and tradition - the leek - as she seeks to bring luck and blessings upon her team. Sadly, history tells us that Sheffield United emerged victorious with a narrow 1-0 win over Cardiff City FC. However, it is not defeat but rather the spirit of unity showcased by this ardent fan that truly resonates through this timeless image. Through its stark monochrome format and landscape composition, MacGregor skillfully captures both male and female supporters coming together in their shared love for sport. This evocative piece serves as a poignant reminder of how sports can unite people across borders while also immortalizing an important moment in football history.
