Wivenhoe Football team around 1900. the only known person in the photo is second row centre probably the goal keeper is William Hillyard who married Ethel Cook in 1904 at the Independant  Chapel in West Street.

Thanks to Nick Sheen (Western Australia) for the photo.

Wivenhoe Memories collection.
 I believe this is Wivenhoe Crown football team (presumably the Rose & Crown pub team). I have seen photo of the Wivenhoe Crown team from 1904 wearing an identical strip - Nick.
 Wivenhoe Crown's strip was yellow and green stripes and they played their matches on Mill Field. Hector Barr was the team captain for several seasons around this time - I don't know if he is in the photo - Nick
