EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early days of football, specifically the 1885/86 season. It showcases the West Bromwich Albion team group gathered together for a momentous occasion - the opening of their Stoney Lane ground on September 5th, 1885. In this historic snapshot, we see the players arranged in three rows. Standing tall at the back are H. Green and H. Bell, exuding confidence as they prepare for another thrilling season ahead. In the center row, T. Green, T. Lavender, R. Roberts, E. Horton, G. Bell, G. Timmins and A. Loach strike a pose that reflects both determination and camaraderie. Taking their place on solid ground are G. Woodhall, J. M. Bayliss, and F. Bunn who complete this remarkable lineup of talented athletes representing West Bromwich Albion during this memorable campaign. It is worth noting that this particular season saw them reach great heights as FA Cup Finalists; however, the team experienced heartbreak when they lost a replay match against Blackburn Rovers by a scoreline of 2-0. Preserved through time by Colorsport Images, this extraordinary photograph allows us to glimpse into an era where football was still in its infancy but already capturing hearts across England. The dedication and passion radiating from these players serve as a reminder of how far our beloved sport has come since those early days at Stoney Lane ground over a century ago.
