This historic moment marks the last time two purely amateur teams contested for the coveted FA Cup, with Old Etonians serving as the runners-up. The FA Cup, also known as the Football Association Challenge Cup, is the oldest domestic football competition in the world, and this victory by Blackburn Olympic holds a significant place in its rich history. The image showcases the team's jubilant celebration, with the players proudly holding aloft the FA Cup trophy. Dressed in their traditional kit, the team members exude a sense of pride and accomplishment. The 1880s were an era of great innovation and growth in the world of football, and this photograph is a testament to the passion and dedication of the teams and players that shaped the sport's early history. The Association Cup Winners Players Cigarettes card set, from which this photograph is taken, was a popular collectible during the 1930s. The set featured cards of various FA Cup-winning teams, providing football fans with a glimpse into the past and celebrating the rich heritage of the game. This photograph, in particular, holds a special place in the collection due to its historical significance as the last FA Cup final between two amateur teams. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era of passion, innovation, and camaraderie in the world of football.
