EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the Sheffield Wednesday Cup Final Team of 1935, following their triumphant victory in the FA Cup Final against Manchester City on 27th April 1935. The team, dressed in their iconic blue and white striped shirts and shorts, proudly display the coveted FA Cup trophy amidst jubilant celebrations. Standing in the back row, from left to right, are the team's trainer, Irwin, and several key players including Sharp, Millership, Nibloe, Brown, Catlin, Burrows, and Walker, who served as both the team's secretary and manager. In the front row, Hooper, Surtees, Palethorpe, Starling, and Rimmer proudly display their winning spirit, with Hooper holding the FA Cup aloft. The 1930s, or the '30s, were a significant period in the history of English football, with Sheffield Wednesday's victory marking the end of an era. The team's success came during a time when football was still largely amateur, with players often holding down other jobs outside of the sport. The team's dedication and skill paid off, however, as they secured their place in football history. The photograph showcases the team's formal attire, with the players wearing suits and ties, reflecting the era's dress code for such occasions. The trainer, Irwin, stands out in his more practical outfit, complete with a cap and training shoes. The team's manager, Walker, wears a suit and tie, but with a more relaxed expression, perhaps reflecting the relief and excitement of leading his team to victory. This photograph is a testament to the passion, teamwork, and determination of Sheffield Wednesday's 1935 Cup Final Team, and a reminder of the rich history of English football during the 1930s.
