EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a significant moment in football history. The image captures the intense atmosphere of a UEFA cup tie 1st round, 1st leg match between Newcastle United and Bohemians held at Dalymount Park on September 14th, 1977. The focal point of the photograph is Mick Mahoney, Newcastle's goalkeeper who has fallen victim to an appalling act of hooliganism. As players and officials gather around him, their expressions reveal shock and concern for their injured teammate. This distressing incident serves as a stark reminder of the dark side that sometimes infiltrates the beautiful game. During this era marked by hooliganism and violence in football stadiums across Europe, Mahoney becomes yet another target for unruly fans armed with bottles and other missiles. The image encapsulates not only the physical danger faced by players but also highlights the need for increased security measures within sporting events. This powerful snapshot freezes a moment in time when sport was marred by acts of aggression. It stands as a testament to both the resilience of athletes like Mick Mahoney who risked injury every time they stepped onto the field and serves as a reminder that unity among players and officials can triumph over such senseless acts. As we reflect on this historic event through NCJ Staff's lens, let us remember how far football has come since those turbulent times while acknowledging that there is still work to be done in eradicating hooliganism
