In this evocative photograph captured by David Price during the 2016-17 football season, Arsenal's dedicated Kitman Vic Akers prepares for the FA Cup showdown between Sutton United and Arsenal at Gander Green Lane Stadium in Sutton, Greater London. The image encapsulates the anticipation and excitement that comes with the build-up to a highly-anticipated cup match. Dressed in his Arsenal tracksuit and carrying a large bag filled with the iconic red and white striped kits, Akers confidently strides towards the stadium entrance, his determined expression hinting at the importance of the task at hand. The image captures the sense of responsibility and professionalism that comes with being a kitman, a role that is often overlooked but essential to the success of a football team. The photograph also highlights the stark contrast between the two teams, with Akers representing the glamour and prestige of Arsenal Football Club, while Sutton United, a non-league team, awaits the arrival of their illustrious opponents. The image serves as a reminder of the unpredictability and magic of the FA Cup, where underdogs can defy the odds and giant-killers can make history. As Akers makes his way into the stadium, the anticipation builds both for him and the players, as they prepare to take to the field in the hopes of securing a place in the next round of the FA Cup. The photograph is a testament to the dedication and hard work that goes into every football match, and the unique role that kitmen play in ensuring their team is ready for battle.
