EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back to a momentous day in football history - the FA Cup final of 1915 between Sheffield United and Chelsea at Old Trafford, Manchester. The image captures not only the intense sporting action but also provides a glimpse into the social fabric of that era. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are immediately drawn to the vast sea of spectators filling every inch of available space. Amongst them, some faces stand out - soldiers on leave from their duties during World War I. Their presence serves as a poignant reminder of how sport can unite people even in times of great adversity. The match itself was one for Sheffield United fans to savor as they emerged victorious with an impressive 3-0 win over Chelsea. This triumph earned it the moniker "Khaki Cup Final" symbolizing both its historical significance and connection to wartime Britain. This photograph is more than just a snapshot frozen in time; it is a portal into nostalgia and historic remembrance.
