EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the West Bromwich Albion Football Team, triumphant winners of the Football Association Cup in 1888. In the image, the team members proudly display their striped kit, having defeated Preston North End with a 2-1 victory in the final. The team's historic achievement marked a significant milestone in the annals of English football history. Standing amongst the victorious players is Mr. J.C. Newbury, a good friend of the team. His presence adds a personal touch to this momentous occasion. The team, hailing from West Bromwich in Birmingham, had defied the odds to claim the coveted FA Cup, which was then known as the 'Little Wooden Idol'. The team's line-up included notable figures such as Billy Bassett and Mountford, who played crucial roles in securing the team's victory. The FA Cup, the oldest domestic football competition in the world, was established in 1871, and the 1888 final was its 11th edition. Winning the FA Cup not only brought immense pride to the team and its supporters but also marked the beginning of a new era for West Bromwich Albion Football Club. This photograph is a testament to the team's rich history and the passion that has driven them to success for over a century.
