EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph captured during the semi-final match of the 1990 World Cup, England manager Bobby Robson can be seen deep in conversation with his players just before extra-time. The tension and anticipation are palpable as they gather on the pitch at Stadio delle Alpi in Turin, Italy. Robson's words carry weight and significance, as he imparts his wisdom and strategies to inspire his team for what lies ahead. Amongst the huddle stands a young Paul Gascoigne, who would later become one of England's most revered footballers. His presence symbolizes both youthfulness and potential within a team that had already defied expectations throughout the tournament. The backdrop of this historic moment is not lost either - it was West Germany who stood between England and their dream of reaching the final. As emotions run high, each player listens intently to Robson's instructions, fully aware that every decision made from here on out could determine their fate in this crucial match. Although ultimately falling short after a grueling penalty shootout loss (West Germany won 4-3), this image encapsulates the unwavering determination etched onto each player's face. It serves as a reminder of an era when English football came agonizingly close to glory under Robson's guidance. Colorsport photographer Andrew Cowie expertly captures this poignant scene, freezing it in time for generations to come – forever immortalizing Bobby Robson’s rallying cry before extra-time during that fateful day in July
