EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Ley, we are transported back to the 1960s, a golden era for football. The image showcases the momentous occasion when Joe Baker, an esteemed player of his time, signs a contract with Arsenal Football Club. Standing beside him is Gigi Peronace from Turin and the legendary Arsenal manager Billy Wright. The atmosphere in the room is palpable with anticipation as Baker puts pen to paper, solidifying his commitment to one of England's most prestigious clubs. His face radiates determination and excitement as he embarks on this new chapter in his career. Peronace watches intently from the left side of the frame, perhaps reflecting on what could have been if fate had taken a different turn. Meanwhile, Billy Wright stands tall and proud next to Baker; his presence exudes authority and confidence. As manager of Arsenal at that time, Wright surely recognized Baker's immense talent and potential contribution to the team's success. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how sports can unite people across borders and generations. It immortalizes an iconic moment in football history when dreams were realized through ink on paper—a testament to dedication, ambition, and unwavering passion for the beautiful game.
