EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Mervyn Berens, we are transported back to October 1972, where a group of passionate football supporters are seen leaving Highbury Stadium after an exhilarating Arsenal match. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of youth culture and camaraderie that defined the era. Amidst a sea of jubilant faces, it is evident that these boys are not just fans but friends united by their love for the beautiful game. Dressed in fashionably vibrant clothing synonymous with the 1970s, they proudly showcase flares and long hairstyles that were all the rage during this period. The atmosphere surrounding them is electric as they bask in the post-match euphoria. Their animated conversations and contagious laughter fill the air, reflecting both their unwavering support for Arsenal and their youthful exuberance. This photograph serves as a nostalgic time capsule capturing a moment when football was more than just a sport; it was an integral part of British culture. It reminds us of how sports can bring people together from all walks of life, transcending age barriers and fostering lifelong friendships. Mervyn Berens' lens has skillfully frozen this fleeting moment in time, allowing us to relish in its authenticity decades later. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we cannot help but be reminded of our own cherished memories associated with football matches or any other shared passion that unites us with our closest companions.
