EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the intense atmosphere of the 1985 European Cup Winners Cup Final. The image freezes a pivotal moment in football history as Everton's Peter Reid gracefully evades a dangerous flare hurled from the crowd at Feijenoord Stadion in Rotterdam. The photograph encapsulates both the passion and chaos that can engulf football matches. Amidst the deafening roars of supporters, Reid's quick reflexes and agility shine through as he elegantly sidesteps the flaming projectile. His determination to stay focused on the game despite such distractions is evident, showcasing his unwavering commitment to his team. This snapshot serves as a reminder of how incidents like these can mar even the most prestigious sporting events. It highlights not only Reid's skill and composure but also sheds light on issues surrounding fan behavior during that era. Colorsport photographer Andrew Cowie masterfully captures this fleeting moment with precision and clarity, freezing it forever within this print. As we gaze upon it, we cannot help but be drawn into its intensity – feeling both admiration for Reid's athleticism and concern for his safety amidst such volatile circumstances. Decades later, this photograph remains an enduring testament to one player's ability to rise above adversity while reminding us of football's power to unite or divide fans worldwide.
