EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a section of the record-breaking crowd of 114,000 spectators who gathered at Crystal Palace football ground for the historic 1901 FA Cup Final between Tottenham Hotspur and Sheffield United. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the excitement and anticipation of the fans as they eagerly awaited the start of the much-anticipated match. The photograph, taken from a vantage point at the top of the grandstand, provides an interesting perspective, with the crowd stretching out below and the lush green expanse of the football pitch at the centre. However, this number might not be the complete picture, as the photograph also reveals spectators perched precariously on nearby trees and rooftops, eager to catch a glimpse of the action. The FA Cup Final of 1901 holds a significant place in football history, with Tottenham Hotspur emerging victorious against Sheffield United, thanks to a goal by Teddy Baker in the final minutes of the game. This triumph marked the first major trophy for the North London club and set the stage for their future successes. The photograph, taken from the ILL (Inter-Library Loans) collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is an essential addition to any collection of historical football images. It not only captures the excitement and energy of the fans but also provides a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history of football and its devoted supporters.
