Leicestershire County FC Team 1895: A Glimpse into the Past of English Football This photograph captures the Leicestershire County Football Club team of 1895, a group of dedicated and talented sportsmen who made history in the late Victorian era. The team, consisting of Davis, Hogan, Lovell, Swift, Montieth, Lee, Cotterill, Atkins, Thompson, Dixon, Carpenter, Bull, Hibberd, and Wood, was a formidable force in English football during the 1890s. The image, taken in the 1890s, showcases the team in their formal attire, each player holding a football, exuding confidence and determination. The team's uniform, consisting of a white shirt with a blue sash and black shorts, is a testament to the team's proud heritage. Leicestershire County FC, also known as Leicester Fosse, was a professional football club based in Leicester, England. The team was founded in 1884 and played in the Midland League and the Football League from 1892 to 1924. The team's success during the 1890s, as evidenced in this photograph, was a result of their exceptional teamwork, skill, and dedication. The 1895 season was a particularly memorable one for Leicestershire County FC, as they finished as runners-up in the Midland League, narrowly missing out on the championship title. The team's impressive performance earned them recognition and admiration from football enthusiasts across the country. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past of English football, offering a unique insight into the lives and careers of these early sportsmen. The team's legacy continues to inspire and captivate football fans to this day, making this photograph a valuable addition to any collection of football history.
