EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures a historic moment in FA Cup Final history, as King George VI shakes hands with members of the Millwall team before the kick-off of the FA Cup Final (South) against Chelsea at Wembley Stadium during World War II. The FA Cup Final, the oldest domestic football competition in the world, is known for its rich tradition and iconic moments. This image, taken by the Press Association (PA), perfectly encapsulates the spirit of camaraderie and resilience that defined football during wartime. Millwall Football Club, a team from the working-class areas of London, had defied the odds to reach the final. The team, which had been formed over a century ago, had faced numerous challenges, both on and off the pitch. The outbreak of World War II had disrupted the football season, and the team had to play their home games at various neutral venues due to bomb damage to their old ground at The Den. Despite these challenges, Millwall reached the FA Cup Final, where they faced a strong Chelsea team. The final, which took place on 27 April 1940, was played in front of a crowd of over 60,000 spectators, many of whom had traveled long distances to witness the historic occasion. King George VI, who had served as a naval officer during World War I, was a keen supporter of football and had a deep appreciation for the morale-boosting power of the game. His presence at the final was a symbol of unity and hope during a time of great uncertainty. The image of the King shaking hands with the Millwall players before the match is a powerful reminder of the enduring power of football to bring people together, even in the most challenging of times.
