EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from Euro 92, we witness a captivating moment between England captain Gary Lineker and Sweden goalkeeper Thomas Ravelli. The intensity of the game is palpable as these two football legends face off in the Group One match held at Rasunda Stadium in Solna, Sweden. Little did Lineker know that this would be his final international appearance, making it all the more significant. As fate would have it, coach Graham Taylor decided to substitute him with Arsenal striker Alan Smith in the 62nd minute of the game. This substitution marked an end to Lineker's illustrious international career, leaving behind a remarkable legacy. With 48 international goals under his belt, Lineker was just one goal shy of surpassing Bobby Charlton's national record—a testament to his exceptional talent and prowess on the field. Although he fell short of achieving this milestone during Euro 92, Lineker's impact on English football cannot be understated. This photograph by Colorsport / Andrew Cowie captures not only a historic moment but also showcases the passion and dedication exhibited by both players throughout their careers. It serves as a reminder of their contributions to their respective nations' football heritage and immortalizes them as true icons of the beautiful game.
