EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in football history. It captures the intense action between Charlton Athletic and Arsenal during a midweek afternoon London Challenge Cup tie at Highbury on 7th October 1935. The image portrays the raw energy and determination of both teams as they battle it out on the pitch. In front of a modest crowd, numbering just a few hundred spectators, this match was played before the two sides met for the first time in front of their largest league audience. The anticipation is palpable as players from both teams give their all, showcasing their skills and athleticism. One particular standout moment frozen in time by photographer Tomlinn is Watson's incredible save. With lightning-fast reflexes, he dives towards the ball with unwavering focus, demonstrating his exceptional goalkeeping abilities. The photograph itself exudes nostalgia, transporting us back to an era when football was simpler yet no less thrilling. The sepia tones evoke memories of a bygone age when matches were contested purely for love of the game rather than commercial gain. This print from Memory Lane Prints serves as a reminder that even decades later, these historic moments continue to captivate sports enthusiasts worldwide.
