MOTD -1912

[cmg]

Apologies if this has been posted before, but it's the first time I've seen it and I was struck by its remarkable quality given its date.

Fulham entertain Bury at, instantly recognizable even after 104 years, Craven Cottage.
September 21, 1912

We won 3-1 but unfortunately the camera seems to have no panning ability so our goals do not make it to the screen. Must have been early Channel 5.

Great find.
The earliest surviving footage of Fulham playing?

Sadly it won´t let me view it here in Spain. I remember the game well though.

Laughed a lot at that lol.  Wish you could see more of the game.

Can't believe how  the ground looks almost exactly like the CC I started going to in the early 60's, and isn't much different today.

The game of football is still basically the same too.

Thanks for posting.

Strangely moving to see such familiar places so long ago.  Also to realise that the spectators are not period drama actors with their straw boaters etc on, but real folk wearing the dress of the day.
