EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to a pivotal moment in football history. The image features Gavin Crawford, a prominent figure in the early days of the beautiful game, during a match between Woolwich Arsenal and Sheffield United in the late Victorian or early Edwardian era. The scene is set in a quaint football ground, with a backdrop of trees and a picturesque park. The atmosphere is electric as the crowd, dressed in their finest attire, eagerly watch the action unfold. The players, including Gavin Crawford in the Arsenal jersey, are focused and determined, their expressions a testament to the passion and intensity of the game. The use of a lantern slide adds an extra layer of nostalgia to the image, transporting us back to a time when football was a simpler, more intimate affair. The lantern slide, a precursor to the modern projector, was a popular way of sharing photographs and stories with large audiences in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Gavin Crawford was a prolific goalscorer for Woolwich Arsenal, helping them to several victories against formidable opponents such as Queens Park Rangers, Millwall, and Sheffield United. His contributions to the team earned him a place in the annals of football history, making this photograph a valuable addition to any collection of early football memorabilia. This photograph is not only a testament to the rich history of football but also a reminder of the enduring appeal of the game. The passion, intensity, and excitement captured in this image continue to resonate with fans today, making it a must-have for any football enthusiast or history buff.
