EDITORS COMMENTS

In this powerful and evocative photo print, we witness the aftermath of a shocking incident that unfolded during a UEFA cup tie between Newcastle United and Bohemians in 1977. Sweeper Irving Nattrass, with an expression of both exhaustion and determination etched on his face, walks off the pitch burdened by rocks and beer cans hurled at him by hooligans. The image captures not only the physical weight Nattrass carries but also the emotional toll inflicted upon him. The caption reveals that this moment was born out of an earlier incident when Mahoney was hit, leaving Nattrass terrified like never before. It serves as a stark reminder of the dark side of football – hooliganism. Set against the backdrop of Dalymount Park, this photograph transports us back to an era where such acts were unfortunately prevalent in football matches. The 1970s witnessed numerous instances where violence marred sporting events, endangering players' safety and tarnishing the spirit of competition. This image is a testament to Nattrass's resilience as he bravely shoulders these projectiles while making his way off the field. It symbolizes not just one player's struggle but also represents countless others who faced similar challenges during their careers. As we reflect on this snapshot from history, let it serve as a reminder that unity should prevail over hostility within sports arenas. Let us strive for an environment where athletes can focus solely on their passion for the game without fear or intimidation from those who seek to.
