EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing a poignant moment between Arsenal legend Theo Walcott and his long-time manager Arsene Wenger during their UEFA Champions League match against FC Basel at Emirates Stadium on September 28, 2016. Walcott, who had spent his entire professional career with the Gunners since joining them as a teenager, was bidding farewell to Wenger after being substituted off the pitch. The French manager, who had overseen Walcott's development into a formidable winger, acknowledged his player's contribution with a warm handshake and a pat on the back. The scene was a testament to the deep bond between the two, built over years of successes and challenges on the field. The image also highlights the electric atmosphere of the Emirates Stadium, with the sea of red and white Arsenal supporters in the background, adding to the emotional intensity of the moment. This photograph encapsulates the essence of football as a team sport, where players and managers form deep connections that endure beyond the final whistle. The 2016-17 season marked a significant turning point for both Walcott and Wenger, as the former left Arsenal to join Everton, while the latter announced his retirement at the end of the campaign. This image serves as a lasting reminder of their time together and the indelible impact they had on each other and Arsenal Football Club.
