Coming soon.
OUR F.A. is a local history project seeking to discover and preserve Football teams, through the ‘lost’ photographs of the past. We are seeking anyone with unknown teams often in unknown locations no matter how tatty, torn and faded, with the aim of bringing them back to life.
This is an inclusive project that anyone can join. We already have thousands of images from old scrap books, postcards and broken albums around the UK, Ireland and beyond where we need your help to identify dates, locations and maybe names, where they played, kit colours and more – the stories behind the people in the teams.
Here are some examples:
Category WW1:
A British regiment with a team. Probably 1914-1918. Can anyone find clues in the image to begin to tell this story?
Category: Church teams
Here are East Street Wesleyan juniors. But where? Perhaps 1890’s, does anyone recognise the location or people?
Category: Womens teams
Who is this cheerful lot and date and place? Perhaps a munitions team?
Category: School teams
This is a rugby team of 15 with oval ball, and pre 1900 by the dress. Distinctive shirts and badge. Might the doorway give away the location?
This project is in early details and we welcome interest and contributions from individuals and organisations .
Contact details will be provided shortly.
