EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from August 1969, we witness an intense moment on the Maine-road pitch during a football match. Referee David Smith finds himself at the center of controversy as he refuses to award a crucial penalty kick after Brian Labone's handball in the penalty area. As tensions rise and tempers flare, chaos erupts on the field. To ensure his safety amidst the stormy scene, Referee David Smith is seen being escorted by a police officer as he makes his way off the pitch. The presence of law enforcement highlights just how heated and volatile this particular match became. The photograph also captures other notable figures caught up in the commotion. Mike Summerbee can be seen below, receiving a booking for his involvement in what unfolded. Meanwhile, Malcolm Allison rushes towards the "out of bounds" touchline, likely attempting to intervene or voice his frustration. This image serves as a powerful reminder of both the passion and intensity that often accompanies football matches. It encapsulates a moment where emotions ran high and decisions made by officials sparked outrage among players and fans alike. As we delve into Memory Lane Prints' extensive collection, this print stands out for its ability to transport us back to an era when football was not only about skillful play but also about raw emotions running wild on and off the field.
