useless Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 This game finished 4-4 as far as I can work out, at the time we were English champions, but I think Sunderland were crowned champions the season this match took place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withes_shin Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I'm sure I read or heard somewhere that the reason all the players fists are clenched is that the artist couldn't draw fingers very well. Maybe a myth but still a nice story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was commissioned to celebrate Sunderland's title win in 1895, back in the days when Sunderland and Villa were the two dominant forces in English football. Between us we won the title nine times (Villa 5, Sunderland 4) in eleven seasons between 1891/92 and 1901/02. It was restored recently and is on display at The Stadium of Light, Sunderland.

It is also huge & practically covers one of the walls. If ever you get a chance, don't take my word for it, go & see it for yourselves. I've stood there & marveled at it & it is an absolute joy to behold. Do it. Just realised I gave this post its first 'like' 9 years after it was initially posted. That must be some sort of record. See kids, patience is the key. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does this painting actually depict Villa's ground at Perry Barr? Villa also played Sunderland, at Ewood Park apparently, the FA Cup semi-final in March that year and won 2-1, going on to win the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
