EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic print captures a moment of heartbreak for footballer Gary Lineker during an international match between England and Brazil in 1992. As Lineker steps up to take the penalty, all eyes are on him as he prepares to face off against Brazilian goalkeeper Carlos. The tension is palpable as Lineker takes his shot, but unfortunately, it goes wide of the goal, leaving him visibly frustrated and disappointed. The image serves as a reminder of the highs and lows that come with being a professional athlete, showcasing the intense pressure and scrutiny that players like Lineker face on the world stage. Despite his miss, Lineker's legacy as one of England's greatest strikers remains untarnished, with this moment serving as just a small blip in an otherwise illustrious career. As we look back on this historic match through Andy Hooper's lens, we are reminded of the nostalgia and emotion that sports photography can evoke. The Northcliffe Collection has preserved this snapshot of sporting history for future generations to appreciate, allowing us to relive the drama and excitement of past matches like this one between two footballing powerhouses. In capturing Lineker's missed penalty against Brazil, Hooper has immortalized a pivotal moment in football history that continues to resonate with fans around the world. This print is not just a piece of memorabilia; it is a testament to the passion and dedication that define the beautiful game.
