The photograph shows Harry Hampton scoring for Aston Villa against Newcastle United in the 1905 FA Cup Final.
I chose the picture for it's clear depiction of the pre 1937 'D' less penalty area.
The match was played at Crystal Palace, a miserable place for Newcastle , who lost in 4 Cup Finals during the decade. The crowd was an impressive 101,117, the 4th highest ever for a Cup Final.
The Villa XI, all of whom were English
Howard Spencer with the Cup.
