EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the St Ives football team of Huntingdonshire, England, in the late 1890s. The team, dressed in various stages of footballing attire, poses confidently for the camera. In the back row, from left to right, we see H. Mence, E. Kiddle, G. B. Ulph, Houghton, and Gifford, the goalkeeper. The middle row features Freeman, H. Copley, F. M. Warren, and W. O. Peek. In the front row, N. Whaley, S. Watts, and F. Meadows complete the lineup. The team's manager or trainers, not pictured, would have overseen their training and tactics. The players display a range of fashionable Victorian and late-Victorian costumes, with some wearing bowler hats, flat caps, suits, waistcoats, and coats. The team's captain, Houghton, stands proudly in the back row, clutching the football. Gifford, the goalkeeper, sits in the middle row, his focus intently on the ball at his feet. The team's spirit is palpable, as they proudly display their camaraderie and teamwork. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insight into the history of football in Huntingdonshire during the 1890s. The team's name, St Ives, is synonymous with the picturesque town in Cambridgeshire, known for its historic buildings and beautiful surroundings. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of football and its enduring appeal, as well as a reminder of the importance of teamwork and community spirit.
