George Utley leads Sheffield United out for the 1915 FA Cup final.
“Sheffield United, led by Ernest Needham, won the First Division championship in the 1897-1898 season. William Foulke only missed one game and the team had the best defensive record in the league and one journalist described Foulke as the ‘greatest goalkeeper in the world’. In a game against Liverpool in November, 1898, George Allan tried to intimidate Foulke. The Liverpool Post reported that ‘Allan charged Foulke in the goalmouth, and the big man, losing his temper, seized him by the leg and turned him upside down.'” (Spartacus)
