EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Blackburn Rovers football team, triumphant winners of the FA Cup in the historic year of 1890. The FA Cup, the oldest domestic football competition in the world, is a prestigious trophy that represents the pinnacle of English football club achievement. The Blackburn Rovers team, dressed in their iconic blue and white stripes, proudly display the FA Cup aloft, their faces etched with a mix of jubilation, relief, and pride. The image is taken from the Association Cup Winners Players Cigarettes card set, a collectible series produced in the 1930s. The set featured photographs and biographical details of the winning teams of various football competitions, making it an invaluable historical resource for football enthusiasts. The Blackburn Rovers team of 1890 was managed by the legendary Bob Cockshott, who led the team to a remarkable victory against Southampton in the FA Cup Final. The team's star players included Jimmy Forrest, who scored the winning goal in the final, and Billy Garrity, who was the team's top scorer throughout the season. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of football in England and the enduring appeal of the FA Cup. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the beautiful game was just beginning to captivate the hearts and minds of the British public. The Blackburn Rovers team of 1890 may be long gone, but their legacy lives on, inspiring generations of football fans and players alike.
