EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures J.W. Sutcliffe, an extraordinary figure in late Victorian sports history, during the 1890s. Sutcliffe was a versatile athlete who excelled in both football and rugby, representing Bolton Wanderers and England with great distinction. The image shows Sutcliffe in a thoughtful pose, with his arms folded across his chest and a confident expression on his face. He wears the cap of an England international footballer, signifying his achievements in the beautiful game. However, the photograph also reveals the rugby player within, as evidenced by the rugby ball tucked under his left arm. Sutcliffe's career in football began with Bolton Wanderers in 1895, where he quickly established himself as a key player. His performances for the team earned him a call-up to the England squad, and he made his international debut against Wales in February 1896. Sutcliffe's versatility and athleticism made him a valuable asset to both Bolton Wanderers and the England team, and he continued to represent both with distinction throughout the 1890s. This photograph is a testament to Sutcliffe's remarkable athletic abilities and his place in the history of Victorian sports. It captures a moment in time when football and rugby were still in their infancy, and when athletes like Sutcliffe were pushing the boundaries of what was possible on the field. Today, this photograph remains a fascinating glimpse into the past, and a reminder of the enduring appeal of sports and the athletes who make them great.
