EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1975, we witness the resilience of England players Allan Clarke, Kevin Keegan, and Malcolm MacDonald as they navigate through a thick blanket of fog during a European Championship qualifier against Czechoslovakia. The image captures their determined expressions amidst the eerie atmosphere at Tehelne Pole (Slovan), Bratislava. However, fate had other plans for this intense match. Just 17 minutes into the game, the severity of the fog forced officials to abandon it with both teams deadlocked at 0-0. It was an unprecedented decision that left fans and players alike in disbelief. Undeterred by these unforeseen circumstances, both sides returned to battle it out on another day. Unfortunately for England, Czechoslovakia emerged victorious with a scoreline of 2-1. This photograph serves as a testament to the unpredictable nature of sport and highlights the determination displayed by these talented athletes even in adverse conditions. Colorsport's Andrew Cowie has expertly captured this momentous event in football history - one that reminds us of how external factors can shape outcomes on the pitch. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of England's valiant efforts but also of football's ability to captivate our hearts regardless of its ultimate outcome.
