LAST week, mindful of York City’s impending Wembley play-off final, we carried a series of stunning historical photographs showing past City teams in action.
With the present team’s exploits at Wembley yesterday still fresh in the mind, it seemed a good idea to run some more historic photos today.
There are a wealth of stunning team and action photographs in The Press’s archive. Here we have got room for just a few of them. But we hope they do at least some justice to the club’s history of more than 100 years of history.
Our pictures today show:
•York City FC in training, August 1947. Pictured from left to right are: Browne, Jackson, Allen, Rudd, M Patrick, Bradley, Lee and Butt
•City in action at home against Tranmere Rovers on January 31, 1948. York lost the game 2-1
•The York City side that reached the semi-final of the FA Cup in 1954-55. Pictured, back row from left: Norman Wilkinson, Gordon Brown, Tommy Forgan, Alan Stewart, Ron Spence, George Howe, Tom Lockie (trainer). Front row from left: Billy Hughes, Arthur Bottom, Ernie Phillips (captain), Sid Storey, Billy Fenton
•Flat caps aplenty in the crowd to watch York City against Huddersfield, 1938
