Everton and Manchester City Football Teams walk onto the pit
Photograph showing the Everton (light shirts) and Manchester City (dark shirts) teams walking onto the pitch at Wembley Stadium, prior to the start of the F.A. Cup Final of 1933. Everton won the game 1-0, thanks to a goal from Dixie Dean. This was one of the first occasions on which footballers wore numbers on the back of their shirts. The reason for this innovation was to help the BBC radio commentators and their listeners follow the action. As can be seen, Everton took the numbers 1 to 11 and Manchester City took 12 to 22

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical photograph captures a pivotal moment in football history as the Everton and Manchester City teams walk onto the pitch at Wembley Stadium for the F.A. Cup Final of 1933. The light shirts of Everton contrast with the dark shirts of Manchester City, setting the stage for an intense match that would end with Everton emerging victorious with a 1-0 win, thanks to a goal from legendary player Dixie Dean.
What makes this image even more significant is that it showcases one of the first instances in which footballers wore numbers on the back of their shirts. This innovation was introduced to help BBC radio commentators and their listeners follow the action more easily. In this photo, Everton players are seen sporting numbers 1 to 11 while Manchester City players donned numbers 12 to 22.
The sight of these two historic teams walking onto the pitch together evokes a sense of nostalgia and reverence for football's rich history. It serves as a reminder of how far the sport has come and how important moments like these have shaped its evolution over time. This print is not just a snapshot from a game but an iconic piece of footballing history captured forever in this timeless image from Mary Evans Prints Online.
