In this iconic photograph, Midlands full back Dusty Hare is seen basking in the glory of a historic victory over the mighty All Blacks during their 1983 New Zealand Tour to Scotland & England. The sheer elation on Hare's face is palpable as he celebrates in the jubilant atmosphere of the Welford Road changing room after the game. Having played an instrumental role in his team's triumph, Hare's heroics are etched into rugby folklore. With nerves of steel and unwavering determination, he sealed the Midlands' win with a late penalty and drop goal that left both fans and opponents astounded. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, our attention shifts to a young Dean Richards standing behind Hare. At just 20 years old, Richards was fortunate enough to witness this momentous occasion from the bench for the Midlands. Little did anyone know at that time that Richards would go on to become one of rugby's most revered figures himself. This image captured by Colorsport photographer Colin Elsey encapsulates not only a remarkable sporting achievement but also showcases the camaraderie and shared joy experienced within a team after overcoming such formidable odds. It serves as a testament to how sport has an unparalleled ability to unite people and create lasting memories that transcend generations.
