This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing the legendary figure of Fatty Foulkes, the Sheffield United goalkeeper. Known for his imposing stature and remarkable agility, Foulkes was a force to be reckoned with on the football field. In this snapshot frozen in history, we see Foulkes standing tall and proud in his Sheffield United Football Club attire. The intensity in his eyes is palpable as he prepares himself for another exhilarating match. His sheer presence exudes confidence and determination. Fatty Foulkes became an icon not only within Sheffield but also across Yorkshire during his tenure at Sheffield United from 1894 to 1905. Revered by fans as "The Blades, " the club's nickname, he left an indelible mark on English football. This precious piece of sporting heritage originates from an original held at Sheffield Libraries: p01026 - a testament to its authenticity and significance. Preserved meticulously by Sheffield City Archives, it serves as a reminder of our rich footballing past. As we gaze upon this photograph today, let us celebrate the legacy of Fatty Foulkes and all those who have contributed to shaping the beautiful game throughout history. May their dedication continue to inspire generations of players and fans alike.
