EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the intensity of the England vs. Scotland Football Match that took place on 30th March 1901. This historical photograph illustrates a pivotal moment in the game, with Blackburn of the English team (front left of the image, lying on the floor) scoring the first goal. The Scottish goalkeeper, Rennie, put in a valiant effort to save the ball, but ultimately was unable to prevent it from crossing the goal line. This match was an important fixture in the British International Championship for that year, with both teams showcasing their skills and determination on the field. Despite Blackburn's early goal, Scotland managed to come back and equalize, with the game ending in a 2-2 tie. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of international football, with players wearing heavy woolen jerseys and leather footballs. Rennie's diving effort to save the goal is a testament to the athleticism and skill of the goalkeepers of the time, even if it ultimately proved unsuccessful. The photograph, taken from an elevated angle, offers a unique perspective on the action, allowing viewers to appreciate the detail and energy of the scene. The image is a reminder of the rich history of football and the passion that has long driven this popular sport. This photograph, which is part of the ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE NEWS (ILN) collection on Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the early days of international football and the evolution of the game over time.
