In this evocative photograph taken by David Price during the Emirates FA Cup match between Sutton United and Arsenal in February 2017, the anticipation of an epic battle is palpable. The scene is set at Sutton United's Gander Green Lane stadium in Greater London, where the non-league team was about to face the mighty Arsenal. The image captures the meticulous preparation of the pitch, with groundsmen raking the surface to ensure a level playing field for both teams. The lush, green grass, dotted with the occasional patch of mud, stretches out before us, framed by the white lines that mark out the boundaries of the pitch. In the background, the stands are filled with eager spectators, their faces a mix of excitement and trepidation, as they await the arrival of their teams. The contrast between the two teams could not be more stark. Sutton United, a non-league team, were known for their underdog status, having climbed their way up from the depths of the football pyramid to reach this stage of the FA Cup. Arsenal, on the other hand, were a Premier League powerhouse, with a storied history and a squad filled with international stars. Despite the odds being heavily stacked against them, Sutton United were determined to make the most of their moment in the spotlight. And so, as the sun began to set on this historic occasion, the teams took to the field, ready to do battle in what would become one of the most memorable FA Cup upsets in recent history. This photograph serves as a reminder of the beauty and unpredictability of football, and the power of the underdog to defy the odds and inspire us all.
