EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment Manchester City football legend Sam Cowan, named in the annals of English football history, takes a powerful kick during a match in 1928. Cowan, a prolific striker for Manchester City, is seen here in the prime of his career, poised to send the ball soaring towards the opposition's goal. The black-and-white image, taken at a time when football was still in its infancy as a professional sport, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Born in Scotland in 1901, Cowan began his football journey with Celtic before moving to Manchester City in 1925. He quickly became a fan favorite, scoring an impressive 112 goals in just 170 appearances for the club. Cowan's prowess on the pitch earned him a call-up to the England national team, where he made his debut in 1927. The photograph is a testament to Cowan's skill and determination, as well as the evolving nature of the beautiful game. Football has come a long way since the 1920s, but the thrill of watching a talented player take a decisive kick remains a constant. This image serves as a reminder of the rich history of football and the iconic figures who have shaped its development. Sam Cowan's legacy extends beyond his impressive goalscoring record. He is remembered as a trailblazer, one of the first Scottish players to make a significant impact on English football. His story is a reminder of the global nature of the sport and the enduring appeal of its stars, who continue to captivate audiences around the world.
