I love the way that this team group is set up in the 2-3-5 pyramid formation.
Test cricketer Ellis Achong is at outside left.
It's also good to see a player in spectacles at left half.

Sunderland full-back Donald Gow looks bemused at being photographed against a rather palustrine backdrop. The best years of Gow's career were divided between Glasgow Rangers and Sunderland. He won 2 League Championships with Sunderland. 

Glasgow Rangers 1885-91
Sunderland 1891–92
Glasgow Rangers 1892-93
Sunderland 1893–1897.
He captained  Scotland in a  5-0 defeat at the hands of  England in 1888, his only international.

Armband worn by Manchester United in the 1909 season.
 The team are reported to have worn these armbands in the opening fixture, a 1-0 win over Bradford City at  Bank Street.  Incidentally Billy Meredith (a champion of the union cause) was absent for this fixture- he missed the first 4 games of the season.

Strictly speaking this falls outside our era. Nikolai Starostin lived at 19a Ulitsa Tverskaya (Moscow) from 1961, when his playing days were long behind him, until his death in 1996.
Starotsin, who held the honour Hero of Socialist Labour and was a 3 time recipient of the Order of Lenin, also spent 11 years as a political prisoner (1942-53).
We'll include him here though for the role he played in developing Spartak Moscow, who emerged from the local Moscow scene to become the great populist side in the Soviet Union.
Notice how the colour scheme of the building next door resembles the Spartak jersey!

10,000 people were at the Oval on 13.04.89 to see Scotland beat England by 3-2.  Receipts taken totaled £63 17s. 6d.

The prices shown are in shillings. There were 20 shillings to a pound
Skilled workers were on about £2 2/  (42 shillings) for a 50 hour week.
The Scottish players were nominally amateurs. The England line up included 6 professionals. These players were on about £3 per week during the season, £2 per week in the summer. Other than expenses (which amateurs also received) the FA did not pay the professionals for representing England.

The Victorian railway network played a great role in the rapid increase in the  popularity of football in the 1880s.  With the top clubs being concentrated in the North and the Midlands travel to away matches was relatively straightforward.

Edinburgh Evening News- 31.05.86

The 2 great Edinburgh clubs Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian* played each other 116 times in the 19th century.
Hibernian were inactive in 1890-91, and didn't enter the League until 1893, reaching Division 1 in 1895.
Early matches were palyed at The Meadows. Then in the 1880s both teams played at Leith Powderhall. Hibernian played some matches at Newington. Heart of Midlothian then took up a ground at Gorgie Road known as Tynecastle and Hibernian opened Hibernian Stadium at Easter Road. Confusingly neither of these grounds were the clubs' present homes. The present Tynecastle opened in 1886 and Easter Road in 1893.
* St Bernard's will be covered elsewhere.
