EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from Euro 92, we witness the raw emotions of England's football stars Gary Lineker and David Platt. The image captures a moment of frustration during their Group One match against Sweden at the Rasunda Stadium in Solna, Sweden. As the captain of the English team, Lineker's disappointment is palpable as he expresses his discontent to his teammate Platt. Both players are visibly disheartened by what seems to be a challenging turn of events on the field. Little did Lineker know that this would mark his last appearance in an international game. Coach Graham Taylor made a surprising decision to substitute him with Arsenal striker Alan Smith in the 62nd minute. This substitution ended Lineker's remarkable international career with 48 goals, just one short of Bobby Charlton's national record. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both Lineker's incredible contribution to English football and the unpredictable nature of sports. It encapsulates not only disappointment but also highlights how fleeting success can be for even the most talented athletes. This image was captured by Colorsport photographer Andrew Cowie, showcasing his ability to freeze moments that tell powerful stories within sporting history.
