Wouldn't want to take a corner when a train is passing by. To borrow from the chant:

A snow covered Fratton Park Portsmouth during a game. Don’t know who they are playing. Just liked the picture. Late 1940s or early 1950s?

Just noticed, players in half sleeves and not even the keepers got gloves on!

We certainly did!😀 

Two Preston North End players leave the pitch at half-time covered in mud, during a match against Charlton Athletic at 'The Valley'.  Feb 1937.

A bit different as the article is about a number of sports and not just football. From 1966.

Jimmy Cowan of Greenock Morton catches the ball against England at Wembley in 1949.

Found this footage of a Morton v Kilmarnock playing on a snow covered Cappielow Park in January 1980.😀

Wee blue cars at the corner flag,😀 an orange ball being used and some players are wearing a short sleeved top!

Newcastle Utd v Bradford City in the 1911 FA Final . A 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace in front of 69,068.

A panoramic view of the Crystal Palace ground during the 1905 FA Cup Final. This is believed to be the only such photograph of the stadium known to exist. Aston Villa beat Newcastle Utd 2-0 in front of a crowd officially given as 101,117.

An FA Cup Final being played at Crystal Palace. Not sure of the year.

The above two photos are of the 1913 FA Cup Final. 121,919 saw Aston Villa beat Sunderland 1-0.
