TITLE-chasing Arsenal are playing football from out of this world right now.

And to mark the passing of one of the Gunners’ greatest players, David “Rocky” Rocastle, the club teamed up with the Lightroom exhibition in King’s Cross to play the “first ever match on the Moon”, pictured above.

The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks installation takes a unique perspective on humankind’s historic and future voyages to the Moon. Hollywood A-lister Tom Hanks narrates the exhibition, which provides a gripping account of the Apollo missions.

Young players took part in a five-a-side tournament as part of the Rocky 7 programme that has become part of the Moonwalkers show.
