EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic aerial photograph, Wembley Stadium in London is seen bustling with activity on the day of the FA Cup Final on April 28, 1923. The first FA Cup Final to be held at the iconic stadium was marked by disorderly scenes before the match even began. The image reveals a massive crowd gathered outside the stadium, with people rushing the gates, bursting through the barriers, and swarming onto the pitch. The chaos caused a delay of 45 minutes before kick-off, as mounted police attempted to encourage the crowd to move behind the touchlines.
