VINTAGE PHOTO OF MENS SOCCER OR RUGBY TEAM : STRIPED JERSEYS : INCLUDES MYSTERY WOMAN

This vintage photograph features a men’s soccer team. The player in the center of the first row is holding a soccer ball. If you look at it under magnification, you will note that the ball has stitching. Could this be a Rugby team? Nine of the team members are wearing vertically striped jerseys. Each end of the back row is occupied by a man in a suit; presumably, they are the team’s coaches. One of them is holding a cigarette. A well dressed woman is standing in the back row. I can’t help but wonder what her relationship is to this team. The answer to that question is lost to history. This photograph is unmounted and measures about 6 1/2″ x 4 5/8″. SOLD
