I'm always attracted to unusual football images, and I recently came across this fantastic photograph from the collection of Mr J.L. Scherpenisse. The photograph was taken on July 6th 1912. It shows a scene at the ground of Amsterdamse Sport Vereniging Door Wilskracht Verkregen- known as DWV.
They played their matches on a compacted sand pitch. The club, formed in May 1912, ceased to exist only last year, when they merged with De Volewijckers.

Dutch speakers please forgive my crude attempt to use their language in the title, which I hope translates as Some people are on the pitch?
