EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of football history that evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder. The image features Dennis Hodgetts (1884-1938), an accomplished footballer who graced the pitch for Aston Villa during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Dennis Hodgetts is depicted here in a striking pose, holding a lantern aloft as he stands on the sidelines of a football field. The lantern, a common sight during night matches before the advent of floodlights, adds an intriguing element to the photograph, highlighting the challenges and unique conditions under which early football was played. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the rich history of Aston Villa Football Club, one of the oldest and most successful teams in English football. Founded in 1874, Aston Villa has a storied past, with a long list of accomplishments that includes eight League Championships and seven FA Cup victories. As we gaze upon this image of Dennis Hodgetts, we are reminded of the passion and dedication that has fueled the sport of football for over a century. The photograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of football and the rich history that continues to inspire and captivate fans around the world.
