The All England Cricket & Football Journal and Athletic Review - W.G. Grace


1877-79
W.G. Grace
The All England Cricket & Football Journal and Athletic Review
? cards (1? football)

I have found a few copies of this publication so I thought I would start a checklist but I couldn't find any other football photographs. I decided to use the scan of the first issue which depicts W.G. Grace, the world famous cricketer. As a young man he played for the Wanderers football club, probably in the period before they won the first ever F.A. Cup competition in 1872 (as a side-bar, Wanderers only won one game in reaching the final in 1872 - when games ended in a draw, both teams advanced to the next round. In 1873 Wanderers received a bye to the final).
