We're at home and Bill Jones (if the caption has it right) is wearing white....so why are we in our Away kit in a Home game?
???
EDIT: I think the caption's wrong. The player on the right looks like Laurie Hughes to me, so we ARE in Red and that's not Bill Jones at all, unless he was playing for someone else (Charlton?) at the time....

Thanks for putting those pics up. There are not many places to see those players now.
The 1950 FAC Final was my first time of seeing the Reds in action.
Not at Wembley but on a 12" black and white TV at a place in Essex whilst my Dad and Uncle went to the game after we travelled down on the Crosville overnight.
I was a nipper and went to family friends who were all southerners and Arsenal fans to boot. At the end they were all cheering, so I went out the back door into the garden with the biggest lump in my throat I've ever had even now.
They quickly realised my pain and brought me back in to treat me to lemonade, cakes and sympathy. :)
I remember that flat cap Sidlow had on which they all wore. They lasted well into the fifties, not sure when the baseball type arrived on the scene.
The 2001 FAC Final was sweet revenge although at one stage I feared my young grand-son at my side was going to endure a similar fate.

I love these pictures.
Black and white pictures seem to capture the old Anfield the way it seemed to be when I was a kid.
Like a magical Shangri-la that was always covered in a cloak of mist. You could feel that warm dampness all around as you gazed awestruck through the railings of the pen before you were rudely brought back to reality by the disappearance off your sherbet lemons from the pocket of your duffel coat.
