Could this team be the one discussed here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SC_Victoria_Hamburg#History or perhaps this one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SV_Victoria_96_Magdeburg#History ?

This is a team photo of the BFC Viktoria 1889 (Berliner Fußball-Club Viktoria 1889), a Berlin soccer team that won the German national soccer championship in 1894, 1908 and 1911. This photo appears to have been taken in 1911 or 1912, around the time of the club's last national championship (the outfits are consistent with those worn in another championship photo from 1911, while the 1908 team was wearing knee-length shorts). The handwritten ID on the photograph uses the English spelling "Victoria". However, the more commonly used German spelling is "Viktoria".

Could this perhaps be this team: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFC_Preussen#History The emblem on the shirts looks rather like the emblem shown on the page just mentioned. Or perhaps it's this one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preussen_Munster which also shows a similar emblem. Finally, there's this club, which also has preussen in its name, though not a similar emblem: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SV_Viktoria_Preußen_07

There is another poster just visible on the left of the Waterford Dundalk one, its for Dan Foley who was a labour candidate and the son of this man I think Mr Foley- Ferrybank N.S.

Paul O'Farrell I think you're absolutely right! It's fascinating the way familial threads can be traced through the Poole Collection photos.

My dad went to a Christian Brothers School in Wexford.

Does anyone know what's in place of this now? Trying to locate the exact location on Manor Street.
