EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the versatile and athletic figure of William Robert "Billy" Moon (1868-1943), an English sportsman who excelled in both football and cricket during the Victorian era. Moon is seen here in the prime of his career, around 1895, dressed in the kit of his football team, Old Westminsters, with the iconic leather football at his feet. The Old Westminsters were a renowned amateur football club based in London, known for producing some of the finest footballers of the time. Moon's cricketing prowess is equally impressive, as evidenced by his first-class cricket appearances for Middlesex County Cricket Club during the same period. The image of Moon on the cricket field, with his bat poised and ready, is a testament to his exceptional skill and adaptability as a sportsman. Billy Moon's story is a fascinating reminder of the rich history of English sports and the remarkable athletes who graced the fields of football and cricket during the late 19th century. His ability to excel in two demanding sports at such a high level is a testament to his dedication, talent, and passion for sport. This photograph, a precious relic from the 1890s, offers a glimpse into the past and the extraordinary achievements of a true Victorian sportsman.
