Just received this albumen photo from England. I assume it is soccer, but no cleats on shoes and the hats don't make much sense.

As for the boots - from a site on the history of football boots: Players would wear their hard, leather work boots, which were long laced and steel toe-capped as the first football boots. These football boots would also have metal studs or tacks hammered into them to increase ground grip and stability. As laws become integrated into the game in the late 1800’s, so saw the first shift in football boots to a slipper (or soccus) style shoe, with players of the same team starting to wear the same boots for the first time. Laws also allowed for studs, which had to be rounded. These leather studs, also known as cleats, were hammered into the early football boots, which for the first time moved away from the earlier favoured work boots.

Look for the image of the Royal Engineers AFC from 1872. Try history of British Football on wiki.

Those stocking caps don't look at all like the ones in my photo.

If you compare your photo with this British late-19th century Keens Mustard tin with Rugby scene... the uniforms look very similar, including the toques. I hope this helps. Brent |

That was my first impression on this also except for the fact that the ball is on the floor and it looks like a football (soccer ball) and not a rugby football. The first ones to use a rubber bladder, made by Richard Lindon in the 1840's, were slightly oblong (buttonball).

Any chance you have some 19th century Celtic Football Club pictures? Glasgow, Scotland soccer team. Would love to see them.

I was surfing Astros stuff on ebay during the World Series when I spotted the following item - a program from the first game I ever went to, even scored (Marichal threw a complete extra-inning game). What are the odds? Marichal threw 25 complete games that year, 3 were extra innings. This one went 11 but the scorer gave up after 10.

Not worth a lot of money but I really liked the way this newspaper looks with Cy Young from 1904.

Just won some bunting from the World Series games played in Houston. This was similar to buying furniture for a room, as I felt it was necessary for my man-cave and would rather have this on the wall than any piece of furniture I can think of. How's that for rationalizing? I further rationalized that I needed two of them...

I was hoping that Jennings would stay cheap so my opening bid would hold up, but glad you won it, its one of his best photos I have ever seen and was a good deal. The stuff I really want ends tonight so now I have some extra money to work with! Congrats Rhys

Thanks Rhys,
I thought it was going to go for actually quite a bit more than it did. But I was like I'll toss out one more bid and then go to bed and ended up surprised that it held. lol. I'm interested in seeing it since the photo is mounted on board in seems like its almost postcard size. I'm not a huge collector of 19th century stuff but when things pop up that seem interesting I'll pull the trigger. So now I have this and my 1885 Chicago White Stockings imperial cabinet. Good luck with your stuff tonight. Take care, Brad |
