RC Lens travelled to Arsenal in the Champions League.

Les Sang et Or, from Northern France to the streets of North London.

The ruby red beer, the golden takeaway lights.

A 6-0 defeat. It didn’t matter.

These are mining people. What goes down, must come up.

Au nord, c’étaient les corons

La terre c‘était le charbon

Le ciel c’était l’horizon

Les hommes des mineurs de fond
