EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic moment when Arsenal FC captain Eddie Hapgood runs onto the pitch at Highbury Stadium in London during the 1930s. A true legend of his time, Hapgood served as Arsenal's captain from 1933 onwards, leaving an indelible mark on the club's history. Known for his exceptional skills as a left back, he made an impressive total of 393 appearances for Arsenal between 1927 and 1944. In addition to his contributions to Arsenal, Hapgood also had the honor of captaining England in the 1930s, showcasing his talent on both national and international stages. As he leads his team onto the field with determination etched across his face, he is closely followed by Herbie Roberts, a formidable centre half who played alongside him for many years.

The spectators eagerly await their heroes' arrival while donning their own football kits and shirts. The image exudes a sense of anticipation and excitement that can only be felt within a packed stadium. Preserved through time, this monochrome print serves as a testament to Eddie Hapgood's legacy as one of England's finest sportsmen.
