EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, captured by Peter Thursfield, we witness a moment of intense anticipation and frustration on the football field. The image freezes time at Roker Park during the League Cup match between Sunderland and Derby County on October 29th, 1973. Rod Belfitt, Sunderlands' new signing, is at the center of attention as he desperately tries to connect with a hard cross into the goalmouth. With his eyes fixed on the ball soaring through the air, every muscle in his body strains towards making that crucial contact. Yet fate seems to conspire against him as he falls just short of achieving his objective. The atmosphere within Roker Park is electric; spectators hold their breaths in collective hope while players from both teams watch anxiously for what will unfold next. This frozen moment encapsulates all that makes football such an exhilarating sport - passion, determination, and unpredictability. Thursfield's skillful composition transports us back to a different era - the 1970s - when football was played with raw intensity and stadiums like Roker Park were hallowed grounds for fans across England. As we gaze upon this iconic image from yesteryears, it serves as a reminder of how sports can unite communities and create lasting memories that transcend generations. This print by Peter Thursfield is not just a snapshot but rather an evocative piece of history that immortalizes Rod Belfitt's near-miss in one unforgettable League Cup clash between Sunderland
