EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph, dated 1902, features the remarkable English sportsman, Charles Burgess Fry (1872-1956), in his Southampton Football Club kit. At the time, Fry was making history as an all-round sportsman, excelling not only in football but also in cricket. That season, he defended for Southampton in the English Football League, while representing Sussex County Cricket Club in the County Championship. Born on December 7, 1872, Fry was an import to English football, having been raised in Australia. His versatility and athleticism made him a valuable asset to both his football and cricket teams. In this image, he wears the iconic Southampton kit, which has remained a cherished piece of football history. Fry's legacy as a sportsman extends beyond his impressive performances on the field. He is remembered for his dedication, perseverance, and the groundbreaking nature of his career. His ability to excel in two major sports during an era when athletes often specialized in one discipline is a testament to his exceptional talent and enduring passion for sport. As we admire this photograph of Fry in his prime, we are reminded of the rich history of English sports and the remarkable individuals who have shaped it. Fry's story serves as an inspiration for future generations of athletes, demonstrating that the boundaries of sporting achievement can be pushed and redefined." Image.
