A large framed photograph of the Sheffield and Glasgow Representative Football Teams from the game that took place at Cathkin Park in 1899, taken by Geo Bell and Co of 152 Sauchiehall ST Glasgow, Sheffield are depicted in White shirts and Glasgow in stripes. The line ups feature famous players including Robert McColl, founder of the famous chain of newsagents and Ernest Needham, one of the first professional players to Captain England.
