EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of C. W. Alcock, a true legend in both cricket and football. Published in 1895 by Hudson and Kearns, this image showcases the remarkable talent and dedication of Charles William Alcock. Alcock's legacy is deeply rooted in his extensive contributions to sports administration. As the Secretary of Surrey County Cricket Club from 1872 to 1907, he played an instrumental role in shaping the development of cricket during that era. Additionally, Alcock captained England's football team and even umpired the first international football match between England and Scotland in 1872. Beyond his prowess on the field, Alcock served as Honorary Secretary of the Football Association from 1867 to 1890 before becoming its official Secretary until 1896. His unwavering commitment led him to become Vice-President of FA from 1897 until his passing in 1907. In this portrait, we see a seated Alcock at his desk - a symbol of his administrative influence within these sporting realms. The photograph exudes strength and determination while capturing every detail with precision through expert photography techniques. Preserved within a private collection, this timeless piece offers us a glimpse into one man's extraordinary journey as both cricketer and footballer; it immortalizes C. W. Alcock as an iconic figure who forever left an indelible mark on English sports history.
