EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Arnold Slater, we witness the raw emotions of England footballer Gary Lineker as he reacts to a devastating moment during an international friendly match against Brazil at Wembley in May 1992. The image freezes time and allows us to relive the heart-wrenching scene where Lineker miskicks his penalty, striking the legs of the Brazilian goalkeeper. The significance of this miss becomes even more poignant as it signifies Lineker's failure to equal Bobby Charlton's long-standing record of 49 goals for England. In that split second, despair is etched on Lineker's face, reflecting the weight of disappointment and frustration he must have felt in that very moment. This photograph not only captures a sporting event but also encapsulates the essence of sports icons and their indomitable spirit.

Arnold Slater has skillfully immortalized this iconic moment through his lens, allowing us to connect with history and evoke memories from one unforgettable era in football - the vibrant 1990s.
