EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured by Colorsport Images, we witness a moment of chaos and controversy that unfolded on the football pitch in 1974.

The match between these two fierce rivals had reached its climax when Denis Law scored a crucial goal in the 82nd minute. This encounter marked a significant milestone in English football history as it became the first game to be halted due to crowd disorder. However, despite the disruption caused by passionate supporters, the league made a bold decision - they allowed the result to stand. This ruling carried immense consequences for Manchester United, who were facing relegation regardless of whether or not they won or drew this particular match. The image captures both the intensity and unpredictability of football rivalries, showcasing how emotions can spill over from spectators onto players and officials alike. Referee D. Smith can be seen guiding Summerbee away from potential harm while simultaneously officiating his final game. Through this single snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how sports have an uncanny ability to ignite passion within individuals and communities alike – sometimes leading to unforgettable moments like this one on that fateful day at Old Trafford.
