EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a historic moment in football history. The scene is set at Dinamo Stadion, located in the vibrant city of Tbilisi, Georgia. It was an International Friendly match between the USSR and England on March 26th, 1986. The tension in the air is palpable as both teams battle it out on the pitch. In this particular snapshot, our attention is drawn to George Scanlan, interpreter for the Soviet football team. Seated on the bench alongside other team officials, he exudes a sense of anticipation and concentration. His presence symbolizes the cultural exchange that occurs during international matches - bridging language barriers and fostering understanding among players from different nations. The significance of this encounter cannot be overstated; it represents more than just a game but rather a meeting point between two rivaling ideologies during one of history's most politically charged eras - the Cold War era. As we gaze upon this portrait captured by Mirrorpix, we are reminded of how sports can transcend politics and unite people through their shared love for football. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of an era long gone but not forgotten – when sport had the ability to bring people together despite their differences. It encapsulates both the spirit of competition and camaraderie that define international friendly matches while also serving as a testament to human resilience amidst geopolitical tensions.
