EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from the 1966 World Cup Tournament in England, we witness a moment of sportsmanship and diplomacy amidst intense competition. Antonio Rattin, the captain of the Argentina football team, is captured shaking hands with Minister of Sport Dennis Howell at a Lancaster House reception held for the four losing quarter finalists. The date is etched as 24th July 1966. This image holds historical significance as it immortalizes an incident that marred Rattin's reputation during the tournament. In the quarter final match against England, he was sent off in disgrace, causing controversy and heated debates among fans worldwide. However, despite this contentious event on the field, Rattin demonstrates his grace by extending his hand to Minister Howell. The photograph showcases not only a gesture of respect between two individuals but also symbolizes how sport can transcend political boundaries and unite people from different nations. Both men are dressed impeccably in suits and jackets for this evening occasion at Lancaster House. Eddie Waters has skillfully captured this powerful moment through his lens, preserving it for future generations to reflect upon. As we gaze upon this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of both the triumphs and challenges faced during one of football's most memorable tournaments in history - an event that continues to shape our understanding of sportsmanship and international relations today.
