Details |
A jolly crowd of football fans at the Leicester ground for the semi-final of the Football Association cup between Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal in March 1928. According to The Graphic, "The uproar when Arsenal were beaten by 1-0 could have been heard over half the shire, and was echoed in the crowded trains which bore the disappointed supporters of the London team home." It being 1928, football crowds comprised almost exclusively of men, as evidenced in this photograph.
