EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the 1972/1973 football season during a Common Market Three training session. Gunter Netzer, an iconic figure from Borussia Monchengladbach and West Germany, takes center stage in this image. The date is March 1st, 1973, and it holds great significance as a match was scheduled at Wembley later that day to commemorate the United Kingdom's entry into the European Economic Community (EEC). The match pitted The Three against The Six - representing the three new Common Market countries: Denmark, the Republic of Ireland, and the United Kingdom versus the established Common Market countries. Netzer's presence on the field symbolizes both his club allegiance and national pride as he prepares for this historic encounter. With his skillful footwork and strategic thinking, Netzer undoubtedly played a vital role in shaping German football during that era. Ultimately, The Three emerged victorious with a resounding 2-0 win over their counterparts from The Six. This triumph not only showcased their prowess but also highlighted how unity among nations can lead to success on both sporting and political fronts. As we delve into this remarkable photograph by Colorsport Images, we are reminded of Gunter Netzer's immense contribution to football history while celebrating an important moment in Europe's journey towards integration.
