EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Gilstead AFC Football Club from the year 1910. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a bygone era of sport and community spirit. The team, dressed in their Victorian and Edwardian-era football attire, stands proudly in front of a wooden fence, their expressions a mix of determination and camaraderie. The players, with their high socks, buttoned shirts, and leather boots, embody the rugged charm of early football. The scene is set against the backdrop of a simple, open-air pavilion, where spectators would have gathered to cheer on their team. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, adding to the sense of nostalgia and history. Football, or soccer as it was known then, had been gaining popularity in England since the late 19th century. The formation of local teams like Gilstead AFC would have brought communities together, providing a sense of pride and identity. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of sport to bring people together, and a reminder of the rich history of football in England. It's a glimpse into the past, a moment frozen in time, and a reminder of the simple joys of a game played with heart and spirit.
