I'm sure I spotted @Harry Wilson's tackle in the crowd there

Are we sure that this is 1902? Goalies didn't wear different tops from the rest of the team until 1909. It could be the colourisation but surely they wouldn't put all white on a halved top?

Well it's a film taken from the BFI. The original film can be found here, along with further info:
