EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of excitement and anticipation as eleven girls, each proudly donning the colors of their beloved football teams, gather to participate in the highly anticipated "Goal Girl" contest of 1971. The Waldorf Hotel in London serves as the backdrop for this thrilling event that showcases both beauty and passion for the sport. Amongst these spirited contenders stands Lynne Charlton, an 18-year-old receptionist hailing from Gateshead. Supporting her cherished Newcastle United team, Lynne exudes confidence and determination as she vies for the coveted title. Her radiant smile reflects her unwavering dedication to both her favorite club and this exhilarating competition. Set against the vibrant atmosphere of 1970s England, this photograph encapsulates not only a celebration of female empowerment but also a testament to women's growing involvement in sports during that era. These young ladies embody strength, grace, and an unyielding love for football—a game traditionally dominated by men. Photographer Peter Stone masterfully captures this historic moment with his lens, freezing it in time for generations to come. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of how far women have come in breaking barriers within sports competitions while still cherishing our favorite teams' colors with pride.
