EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of relaxation and camaraderie between Sunderland and Preston North End footballers following the intense FA Cup Final of 1937. The image features six players from each team gathered around a billiards table, engrossed in their game. From Sunderland, we see Andy Cunningham Beresford, Jimmy Gurney, and Bob Tremelling, all wearing their team's colors with pride. Beresford, the team's captain, is seen in the foreground, intently studying the table and lining up his shot. Gurney, with a thoughtful expression, holds the cue in both hands, while Tremelling, to his left, leans back in his chair, watching the game with a casual interest. On the Preston North End side, we have Tom Carter, Jimmy Dougal, and George Milne. Carter, the team's goalkeeper, is seen in the background, his focus on the game, while Dougal, with a determined look, lines up his shot. Milne, the team's captain, sits at the head of the table, his cue poised above the ball, ready to take his turn. The photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the lives of these footballing legends off the pitch. The billiards table, with its worn green felt and faded numbers, adds to the authenticity of the scene, transporting us back in time to an era of simple pleasures and friendly competition. This photograph is a testament to the human side of sports, where even the fiercest of rivals can come together to enjoy a friendly game and share a moment of camaraderie.
