From Jack Allen's historic goal at the FA Cup Final in 1932 to David Bradley's portrayal of Billy Casper with his beloved Kestral, the concept of a goal post has transcended time and cultures. Whether it be on the grand stage of Wembley Stadium in London or a local football match at Chelsea, these goal posts have witnessed countless moments of triumph and defeat. Even beyond traditional football, we see goals being pursued in different forms - from Choctaw ball-play dances captured by George Catlin to Tartars playing polo depicted by Kano Eisen in Furunobu. The determination of players like James Fair and the camaraderie displayed during a men vs ladies football match in Doncaster further exemplify the universal appeal of scoring goals. As we look back at historical photographs like that from King Edward VII School in Kings Lynn or cherish cherished memories such as David Bradley's role as Billy Casper, one thing remains constant - the pursuit of reaching that elusive goal post.
