This historic photograph captures the excitement of the first Football League match between two legendary London clubs, Chelsea Football Club and Woolwich Arsenal, which took place at Stamford Bridge on 9 November 1907. Two years after their founding, Chelsea welcomed Woolwich Arsenal to their newly built home, drawing over 60,000 spectators. In the image, the captains of both teams, Billy Sands of Woolwich Arsenal and Teddy Windridge of Chelsea, shake hands before the game, demonstrating the sportsmanlike conduct and camaraderie that defined the early days of professional football in England. On the right side of the photograph, the focus shifts to the intense action on the pitch, as Chelsea's goalkeeper makes a crucial save. The crowd, packed tightly into Stamford Bridge, watches with bated breath, their anticipation palpable in the air. The atmosphere is electric, as the two teams battle it out for supremacy in the southern half of England. In the end, Chelsea emerged victorious with a 2-1 win, marking an important milestone in the history of both clubs. This photograph is a testament to the passion, dedication, and spirit that have defined English football for over a century.
