EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the jubilant West Bromwich Albion team, proudly holding aloft the FA Cup after their historic victory in 1888. The FA Cup, the oldest domestic football competition in the world, is synonymous with English football tradition and the pinnacle of domestic success. The team from the Midlands, formed in 1878, defied the odds to claim the coveted trophy in just their second season of existence. The black-and-white image, part of the Association Cup Winners Players Cigarettes card set from the 1930s, showcases the raw emotion and excitement of the moment. Each player's individual expression of triumph and relief is palpable, encapsulating the team spirit and camaraderie that underpins the beautiful game. The 1880s marked the dawn of professional football in England, and West Bromwich Albion's FA Cup triumph was a testament to their tenacity and skill. The team, composed of local talent and a few Scottish imports, overcame formidable opponents such as Preston North End and Aston Villa to secure their place in football history. This photograph is a reminder of the rich heritage and tradition of English football, and the enduring appeal of the FA Cup. It stands as a tribute to the passion, dedication, and teamwork that have defined the sport for over a century.
