EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured during the semi-final of the 1990 World Cup, we witness a moment that encapsulates both sportsmanship and disappointment. England's Paul Gascoigne is seen anxiously checking on Thomas Berthold, his opponent from West Germany, after committing a foul against him. The intensity of the game in the Stadio delle Alpi, Turin, Italy is palpable as Gascoigne stands over Berthold with concern etched across his face. Gascoigne's actions demonstrate not only his competitive spirit but also his empathy towards an injured player. However, little did he know that this act of compassion would come at a cost. As referee brandishes a yellow card to Gascoigne for the foul committed, it becomes apparent that he would have missed the final had England progressed further in the tournament. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how pivotal moments can shape sporting events and careers alike. It captures Gascoigne's genuine concern for an opponent while highlighting the fine line between success and heartbreak in football. The image immortalizes both Gascoigne's talent on the field and his emotional investment in every aspect of the game. Colorsport / Andrew Cowie has masterfully preserved this snapshot from history; one that continues to evoke emotions even decades later.
