Incredible: an original Cup Finals programme, from the pre-World Cup era, the closest thing in 1912 to a world soccer finals event, the Soccer Olympic Games Finals, a large format colour-cover programme, with B/w pages of team lines ups and action photos from the matches, with HOLLAND / Nederland, GREAT BRITAIN (ENGLAND), ITALIA Nazionale, FINLAND - Suomi, DANMARK, SWEDEN - Sverige, HUNGARY - Magyarország. The booklet has more pages than i can show here, only being allowed 9 photo slots. It starts at page 50 because it's part of a series (the others being from other sports) and goes through pages in the 60s. Slim but large format, great images of the above-mentioned football teams, GB/ENGLAND team is named (Arsenal, Bradford City, Darlington, Chelsea, etc.) player for player, and there are a few photos of England in action, most versus Denmark, others with Finland, etc.
The Football Association/s recognized Olympic Games events as full internationals, so this event is one of the earliest soccer World Cups. The gold medals were won by England, with Denmark as silver runners up. Netherlands and Finland played off for 3rd, the Dutch winning the bronze medals. Great team photos of Italia, Hungary, Sweden and other photos make this a priceless purchase for the football historian, or collector of early soccer ephemera.
