EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Rain, sleet and fog accompanied the match at Highbury today when the Gunners beat Chelsea 2 - 0" we are transported back to a chilly winter day in London on Boxing Day, December 26th, 1956. The image captures the essence of a classic football match between two fierce rivals, Arsenal (the Gunners) and Chelsea. Despite the adverse weather conditions of rain, sleet, and thick fog that enveloped Highbury Stadium that day, both teams displayed unwavering determination and skill on the field. The players' breaths visible in the freezing air add an extra layer of authenticity to this snapshot from a bygone era. The victory for Arsenal over their arch-rivals Chelsea is evident in their celebratory expressions captured within this photograph. Their triumph serves as a testament to their resilience and ability to overcome not only their opponents but also nature's challenges.
