This photograph captures the Blackburn Rovers football team, triumphant winners of the FA Cup in 1884. The FA Cup, or Football Association Challenge Cup, is the oldest domestic football competition in the world, and winning it is considered one of the most prestigious achievements in English football. The Blackburn Rovers team, composed of local players from the Lancashire town, made history by becoming the first northern team to win the FA Cup. The image is part of the Association Football Players Cigarette Cards set, produced in the 1930s. These cards were designed to be included in packs of cigarettes, providing collectors with a unique way to engage with the sport and its history. This particular card features the Blackburn Rovers team in their iconic red and white stripes, proudly displaying the FA Cup trophy in the center.

The Blackburn Rovers team, formed in 1875, was one of the pioneers of professional football in the country. Their FA Cup victory in 1884 marked the beginning of a successful era for the club, which would see them win the league title twice in the following decades. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of football in England and the enduring legacy of the FA Cup.
