EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the early days of English football, we see a thrilling moment from the first league fixture between Chelsea and Clapton Orient, two historic London clubs, which took place at Clapton Orient's ground in 1911. The image captures the intensity and passion of the game as two determined players, Scott of Chelsea and Thompson of Clapton Orient, leap into the air to contest a header. The crowd, a sea of spectators dressed in their respective colours, watches on with bated breath, the anticipation palpable in the air. The scene is set against the backdrop of the rugged football pitch, the lush green grass worn down by the relentless play of the men on the field. The atmosphere is electric, the energy of the game pulsating through every fibre of the players' being, as they give their all in the pursuit of victory. The photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of football, a sport that has the power to bring people together, to ignite the passions of fans, and to create memories that last a lifetime. It is worth noting that Clapton Orient, then known simply as Clapton, has a rich history in English football. Founded in 1881, it is the second oldest league club in London, predating even Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. The club moved to Leyton in 1937 and was subsequently renamed Leyton Orient. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of history, that speaks to the deep-rooted tradition and heritage of football in London and beyond.
