The focal point of the image is none other than The Duke of York himself, elegantly attired in royal dress. With his regal presence and sporting spirit, he takes center stage as he prepares to kick off the game. The atmosphere is electric as spectators gather around the football pitch on a sunny day. Men from all walks of life have come together to witness this historic event. Dressed in their sportswear of the era – shorts and jerseys – they eagerly await the start of an exhilarating match. This sepia-toned photograph captures not only a significant sporting occasion but also highlights the close connection between royalty and football during that time.
