EDITORS COMMENTS
Northern Ireland 0 - 1 Scotland at George Best received his first red card for Northern Ireland after throwing mud at the referee at Windsor Park. (Picture shows) George Best taking the long walk back to the dressing room. 18th April 1970. In this iconic photo print, we witness a moment that forever etched itself in football history. The year was 1970, and tensions were running high as Northern Ireland faced off against Scotland on their home turf at Windsor Park. As fate would have it, this match would mark a significant milestone in the career of one of football's greatest legends – George Best. Known for his exceptional skills and charismatic personality, Best had captured the hearts of fans worldwide with his dazzling performances on the pitch. However, on this fateful day, emotions got the better of him as he found himself embroiled in controversy. After an intense altercation with the referee during a heated exchange, frustration led Best to commit an act that shocked spectators and players alike – he threw mud at the official. This unprecedented action resulted in his first-ever red card for Northern Ireland. Captured by our lens is a solemn image of George Best making his way back to the dressing room following his sending off. The weight of disappointment hangs heavy upon him as he reflects upon this unexpected turn of events. This photograph serves as a reminder that even footballing icons are not immune to moments of indiscretion or lapses in judgment. It immortalizes both triumphs and tribulations
