The black-and-white image transports us back to the 1930s, an era of passion and excitement in English football. The spectators in the stadium, dressed in their finest attire, are seen cheering and clapping, their faces etched with anticipation and excitement. The FA Cup Final of 1934 was a significant moment in the history of both Manchester City and Portsmouth, and this photograph encapsulates the action and tension that defined the match. The image is a testament to the rich history of English football and the enduring appeal of the FA Cup."
