In an age where the selfie is king and almost everyone is armed with a device on which to store their memories, it's heartening to be able to turn back the clock and see events through the eyes of one man – and his camera.

Keen photographer Edward Jackson was kind enough to provide us with these fantastic pictures from a big day out for Norwich City in Milan back in December, 1993.
He has shared the images ahead of tomorrow's legends exhibition between Norwich and Inter Milan at Carrow Road, in aid of the Community Sports Foundation.
'I was fortunate to be able to attend this game at the San Siro (although it had just been renamed of course) and was a keen photographer (I still am),' recalls Edward. 'I took a compact 35mm camera with me to record the day, using colour negative film, as you did back then and took lots of pictures...

'I was in my 40s then and am 69 now. Whilst in my 20s I worked at the Lynn office of the EDP on the commercial side, mostly fudging and distributing the EEN, alongside office manager Syd Pooley, chief editor Frank Keeler and photographer John Hocknell. Of course I befriended John and learned a lot about photography from him, and we are friends to this day.'
Thanks for sharing your memories, Edward.
