EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from March 1947, we are transported back in time to witness the intense action of a Petworth football game. The image perfectly encapsulates the thrill and determination that defined the sport during that era. With its focus on an exhilarating moment, our attention is drawn to a dynamic scene unfolding within the frame. The spotlight falls on a goalkeeper who defies gravity as he leaps high into the air, his outstretched arms reaching desperately for the ball soaring above him. Despite his valiant effort, it becomes apparent that another player is about to pass him with an impressive header. The frozen intensity captured in this split-second reveals both frustration and anticipation. This remarkable photograph belongs to the George Garland Collection and is preserved by West Sussex Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N28564. It serves as a testament to not only Petworth's rich sporting history but also highlights how football has always been a thrilling battle between attack and defense. As we admire this vintage gem, we cannot help but notice every detail meticulously preserved: from players donning their traditional kits with pride, down to their sturdy boots digging into the pitch beneath them. This snapshot transports us back in time while reminding us of football's enduring spirit throughout generations
