Impossible to say.......But a crazy guess would be 1920s. Everton v Hearts. Now if that dark kit was maroon. I'd stick with Hearts. But I'm only guessing.

Believe it or not.....I was going to say " is that against Liverpool" . But that would have only been a total guess. So I'm not only way off the mark saying it was a friendly against Hearts. I got the year also wrong. Only an educated guess by me. As it turns out , an uneducated guess.
1906. Love all these old photos from that period. Great photo......great information.......great stuff.
 

Bring back Andy Gray.........who's that guy Linekar anyway.
Most of those trophys were won when Gray was marauding up front......
Only joking folks........great team. Should have cleaned up that year.......

I've posted about that photo before.

It is an absolute disgrace that the club did not have a proper team photo taken with the squad that won those trophies. For Gray not to be on it, and Lineker to be on it, was shambolic on the part of the club.

And that wasn't a great team. Everything was Lineker-centric. If he wasn't scoring, we were faltering. I'll never forget the Oxford United away game. 0-0 late in the second half, Lineker clean through - misses. We end up losing 0-1. End of title. The next season, without him, goals came from everywhere, and we won the title again.
