EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the intense atmosphere of a UEFA cup tie between Newcastle United and Bohemians on September 14th, 1977. The image captures the determined face of Newcastle's very own Mike Mahoney (also known as Mick Mahoney), who fearlessly navigates through a sea of hooligans and flying missiles at Dalymount Park. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the darker side of football in the 1970s, where hooliganism was unfortunately prevalent. Despite facing such adversity, Mahoney remains focused on his mission - to bring victory to his team. His unwavering determination is evident in every line etched onto his face. As rocks and other projectiles rain down around him, it becomes clear that this match was not just about sport; it was also a battle against unruly behavior. Yet even amidst such chaos, the spirit of competition shines through. This snapshot encapsulates both the passion for football and the challenges faced by players during that era. This iconic moment frozen in time reminds us how far football has come since then – with stricter security measures implemented to ensure player safety and fan enjoyment alike. It stands as a testament to those brave individuals like Mike Mahoney who continued playing despite these challenging circumstances – true heroes on and off the field.
