EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a defining moment in the career of England footballer Gary Lineker. The image freezes time during an international friendly match against Brazil at Wembley in May 1992. As Lineker prepares to take his 10th penalty, tension fills the air as fans hold their breath in anticipation. However, fate had other plans for Lineker on that fateful day. With a scuff of the ground and an unfortunate miskick, his shot finds its way towards the legs of the Brazilian goalkeeper. The disappointment is palpable as Lineker's missed opportunity means he falls short of equaling Bobby Charlton's long-standing record of 49 goals for England. This snapshot encapsulates both the highs and lows experienced by sports icons like Gary Lineker throughout their careers. It serves as a reminder that even those held in high regard can face moments of adversity and frustration. Preserved through time by Arnold Slater's lens, this photograph not only captures an action-packed scene from one particular match but also immortalizes a significant milestone in English football history. It stands as a testament to the passion and dedication displayed by players who strive to leave their mark on the sport they love.
