EDITORS COMMENTS
In the thrilling world of football, every second counts, and no moment encapsulates the intensity and drama of the game better than a close encounter between a determined footballer and a focused goalkeeper. This humorous cartoon by Alfred Leete, published in the Illustrated London News in 1925, captures the essence of the beautiful game in an amusing way. The cartoon, titled "The Save!", shows a footballer in mid-air, leaping towards the goal with the ball poised to cross the line. The goalkeeper, however, is not to be outdone. With a fierce determination etched on his face, he throws himself backwards, arms outstretched, in a heroic attempt to prevent the goal. The expression on the goalkeeper's face suggests that he is willing to take a risk, even if it means sacrificing his body for the sake of the team. The cartoon's humour lies in the exaggerated depiction of the goalkeeper's acrobatic save and the footballer's surprised reaction as he lands on the ground, having missed the goal by a whisker. The cartoon also highlights the physical demands of the game, with the players shown in a state of dishevelment, and the goalkeeper's jersey revealing the sweat dripping from his brow. The Save! is a testament to the passion and commitment of footballers and goalkeepers alike, and the thrill of the game that keeps millions of fans around the world hooked. This humorous yet insightful cartoon is a reminder of the excitement and drama that football brought to the 1920s, and continues to bring to us today.
