EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Frederick Wall, an esteemed figure in the annals of English football history, is depicted in this evocative photograph taken during the tumultuous Wembley Cup Final on 28 April 1923. As the secretary of the Football Association, Wall was responsible for overseeing the organization and administration of the game in England during the 1920s. However, on this particular day, his duties extended far beyond the realm of paperwork and protocol. With vast crowds proving difficult to control, Sir Frederick, dressed in a smart wing collar shirt, bowler hat, and white moustache, took a hands-on approach to maintaining order. His elderly appearance belied the energy and determination he demonstrated as he engaged with the unruly spectators, attempting to restore calm and ensure the safety of all those in attendance. The Wembley Cup Final of 1923 was a pivotal moment in the history of English football, as it marked the first time the FA Cup Final was held at the newly-completed Wembley Stadium. The event attracted record crowds, with an estimated 127,000 people in attendance. The day was marred by incidents of crowd violence and disorder, making Sir Frederick's role in maintaining order all the more crucial. This photograph captures a poignant moment in the annals of English football history, showcasing the determination and resilience of Sir Frederick Wall as he worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and enjoyment of the fans, despite the challenges presented by the unruly crowds.
