EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Football Writers' Association (FWA) as they gathered for their inaugural dinner at The Hungaria Restaurant, located on Regent Street in London, on April 23, 1948. The image, taken with a SONY DSC camera, transports us back in time to the 1940s, an era of black-tie events and passion for soccer. The FWA, an esteemed organization founded to represent and honor the work of football journalists, came together for their first annual dinner, marking a significant milestone in the association's history. The event took place at The Hungaria Restaurant, a popular dining destination known for its Hungarian cuisine and elegant atmosphere. The front cover of the menu from this historic evening is featured in the photograph, adding a delightful touch to the image. Among the distinguished guests, we can spot the FWA's President, Mr. Ivan Sharpe, who graced the occasion with his presence. The photograph showcases a moment of camaraderie and celebration among the football writers, as they came together to honor the sport they loved and shared their passion for it through their writing. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of football journalism and the enduring love for the beautiful game. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing us with a fascinating insight into the world of football writing during the 1940s.
