Vintage photo of the England / Great Britain football team which won the Gold Medal at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden. The side beat Denmark 4 - 2 in the final on July 4 at the Stockholm Olympiastadion in front of a crowd of 25,000 people. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) credits "Great Britain" as the winners because the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland competed under that description at the Games. The Football Association, however, who organised the team to represent the UK, credits the win to the "England" national amateur football team rather than a British team. Official IOC records name the 11 players in the team who won the final as: Forwards - Ivan Sharpe, Gordon Hoare, Harold Walden, Vivian Woodward, Arthur Berry; Half-backs - Joseph Dines, Henry Littlewort, Douglas McWhirter; Backs - Arthur Knight, Thomas Burn; Goalkeeper - Ronald Brebner. Their respective positions in the team photo are unknown.
