EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. Dated 12th September 1914, it captures a London football team hailing all the way from the bustling city, competing against their rivals from Birmingham. The location is believed to be Truro College Football Club, where this thrilling match unfolded. The image showcases a group of determined players proudly donning their traditional Victorian football attire. Their cornish jerseys and knee-length shorts are complemented by sturdy boots that have seen many battles on the pitch. Each player wears a cap with pride as they strategize for victory. In the background, we see towering goal posts standing tall amidst lush greenery and majestic trees that provide shade on this sunny day. A towel hangs casually over one of these posts, perhaps left behind by an enthusiastic supporter caught up in the excitement of the game. Although history tells us that Birmingham emerged victorious on this occasion, defeating their London counterparts, this photograph immortalizes not just an outcome but also a shared passion for sport and competition during those times. Thanks to photographer Arthur William Jordan's keen eye for detail and composition, we can now transport ourselves back to that fateful day when two teams clashed on Cornish soil - forever etching themselves into sporting folklore.
