Association Blackburn Football Players Rovers Soccer Teams Winners Winning 1928
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the jubilant Blackburn Rovers football team as they proudly lift the FA Cup aloft following their triumphant victory in the 1928 final. The FA Cup, the most prestigious domestic football competition in English football, had eluded Blackburn Rovers for over six decades. However, on May 19, 1928, at Wembley Stadium, the team finally secured their place in the annals of football history. The image is part of the Association Football Players Cigarettes card set, which was produced in the early 1930s. The set was a popular collectible item during the interwar period, with cards featuring various football stars of the day. This particular card commemorates the Blackburn Rovers team that brought the FA Cup back to Ewood Park. The team's success was a testament to their resilience and determination. They had faced numerous challenges throughout the season, including a difficult league campaign and the distraction of the FA Cup run. However, they managed to overcome all obstacles, with Harry Tate scoring the only goal in the final against Cardiff City. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of football in the 1920s, an era that saw the emergence of some of the most iconic teams and players in the sport's history. The Blackburn Rovers team of 1928 will always be remembered as one of the most significant in the club's storied past, and this photograph is a fitting tribute to their achievements.
