EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures R Kelso, a prominent footballer of the late Victorian era, in his prime while playing for both Preston North End and Everton Football Clubs during the 1890s. Kelso's impressive football career began with Preston North End, where he made his debut in 1892 and quickly established himself as a key player. His exceptional skills and dedication to the sport earned him the nickname "The Wizard of the Daisy Fields," a reference to Deepdale, the home ground of Preston North End. In 1895, Kelso made a significant move to Everton FC, where he continued to excel and contributed to the team's success. During his time at Everton, he helped the team win the Football League Championship title in the 1894-95 season. Kelso's impact on the pitch extended beyond individual achievements, as he played a crucial role in popularizing the forward position and implementing the offside rule. This photograph, taken in the 1890s, showcases Kelso in his footballing glory, proudly wearing the badges of both Preston North End and Everton FC. The image is a testament to his versatility and dedication to the sport, as well as his significant influence on the development of football during the late Victorian era. Kelso's legacy continues to inspire generations of footballers and fans alike, making this photograph a valuable piece of sports history.
