EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Cumberland County Football Team in the late 1890s, a time when the sport of football was gaining immense popularity in Britain. The team, composed of eleven distinguished gentlemen, includes Ellis, Milligan, Brown, Dawson, Millward, Swift, Waite, Bell, Claridge, Landalls, Smith, Ross, and Satterthwaite. Dressed in their football uniforms, which consist of heavy cotton shirts, knickers, and high-top boots, they exude a sense of determination and camaraderie. The team's success during this era was notable, with standout performances in the 1895 and 1896 seasons. Ellis, Milligan, and Brown were particularly notable for their exceptional skills on the field. Milligan, the team's captain, was known for his leadership and tactical acumen, while Ellis and Brown were celebrated for their strength and agility. The late Victorian era was an exciting time for sports, and football was no exception. The game was still in its infancy, and the rules were evolving rapidly. The Cumberland County Football Team represents a pivotal moment in the history of the sport, as it showcases the dedication and passion of the players during this transitional period. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of football in Cumberland County and the enduring appeal of the game. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the origins of a sport that continues to captivate millions around the world.
