The image showcases the determined spirit of the Gravesend and Northfleet football team as they prepare for their FA Cup fourth round match against Sunderland.

Armed with shovels and determination, they strive to crack through the frozen surface in order to ensure a fair playing field for both teams come game day. This snapshot from Memory Lane Prints encapsulates not only the dedication of these athletes but also highlights how weather conditions could pose unexpected challenges during winter sports events.
