EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in football history - the first FA Cup Final held at the iconic Wembley Stadium in London on 28 April 1923. The image, taken from "The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures" published by Odhams Press Ltd. in 1935, showcases an extraordinary scene of excitement and chaos. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the sheer magnitude of the crowds that flocked to witness the clash between Bolton Wanderers and West Ham United. The immense enthusiasm of fans caused them to break down barriers erected to control their movement towards the pitch. As a result, police officers were forced to form cordons, desperately trying to maintain order amidst this sea of eager spectators. The photograph not only highlights the passion for football but also serves as a metaphorical representation of crowd control and law enforcement during that era. It portrays dedicated policemen fulfilling their duty amid overwhelming numbers, showcasing their commitment to maintaining public safety even in challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to a significant chapter in British sporting history. This image immortalizes an unforgettable day when Wembley Stadium became synonymous with football glory and forever etched its name into the hearts of millions worldwide.
