EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant moment captured at Wembley Stadium on August 2, 2015, Arsenal's Per Mertesacker is seen receiving the Community Shield medal from Janet Rocastle, the wife of the late Arsenal legend, David Rocastle. Arsenal had just secured a hard-fought victory over Chelsea in the FA Community Shield match, marking the beginning of the 2015-16 season. The significance of this moment goes beyond the triumph on the pitch. David Rocastle, affectionately known as "Rocky," was a beloved figure in Arsenal's history, having made over 300 appearances for the club between 1981 and 1996. Tragically, he passed away in 2001 at the age of 33 due to a heart condition. Janet Rocastle, who is pictured here wearing an Arsenal scarf, has remained a dedicated supporter of the club and an active participant in its community initiatives. Her presence at the Community Shield match, presenting the medal to Mertesacker, served as a tribute to her late husband and a reminder of the enduring connection between the fans, the club, and its past heroes. Mertesacker, a German international and a key figure in Arsenal's defense during that season, looks humbled and grateful as he accepts the medal from Janet. The image encapsulates the spirit of continuity and tradition in football, as well as the deep bond between the players, the fans, and the history of Arsenal Football Club.
