An Iconic Moment of Triumph and Agony - European Cup Semi Final First Leg Match at the JNA Stadium, Belgrade
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Featherstone from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the intense atmosphere of a historic football match. The image freezes a crucial moment during the European Cup Semi Final First Leg clash between Partizan Belgrade and Manchester United on 13th April 1966. The scoreboard tells us that Partizan has just scored their second goal, securing a stunning victory over their English opponents. However, it is not the jubilant celebration or victorious players that steal our attention. Instead, our eyes are drawn to George Best, one of football's greatest legends. With his right knee held in agony, Best lies sprawled in front of the Partizan goal. His face contorted with pain reveals the intensity of his injury. This snapshot encapsulates both physical suffering and emotional defeat experienced by Best as he watches his team falter against formidable opposition. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how sport can bring moments of triumph but also heart-wrenching setbacks for even its most talented stars. It immortalizes an era when Yugoslavia was still intact – before political turmoil would reshape its borders forever. Featherstone's expertly framed composition allows us to relive this significant event in Balkans' sporting history while simultaneously capturing the essence of 1960s football culture.
