what a goalkeeper... xD

The guy leading the Villa out holding the ball is my Great Great Uncle! Walter S. Corbett. We've got one of his England caps. Thank you so much for posting this up! It's the first time I have ever seen moving footage of him. I wish we could find footage of the Great Britain team from the 1908 Olympics that he was a part of.

I there`s nowt like the old days - when the men were really men and not a fancy Dan in sight.

Holy shit, they had half time score boards even then! No green jumpers for goalkeepers yet, though
