EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the intensity and chaos of a historic football match, this print takes us back to the European Cup Winners Cup Second Round Second Leg match between Ferencvaros and Liverpool in Budapest. The scoreline reads 0-0, but the real story lies beyond the pitch. Coach Ronnie Moran and player Tommy Smith are seen walking off with a sense of resilience, having endured bottles being hurled at them throughout the game. It was an unforgettable night marred by hooliganism as both Moran and Smith became targets of unruly fans. As Moran recounts, two bottles narrowly missed him while he stood on the touchline, witnessing the heated battle unfold. Meanwhile, Smith was struck on his shoulder by a bottle when attempting to retrieve the ball for a throw-in. This photograph encapsulates not only a significant moment in sporting history but also sheds light on the darker side of football culture during that era. Hooliganism had unfortunately become synonymous with certain matches, leaving players and coaches vulnerable to such acts of aggression. Dated November 5th, 1974, this image serves as a reminder of how far football has come in terms of fan behavior and stadium security measures since those turbulent times. It stands as an important artifact from an era where passion sometimes crossed dangerous boundaries.
