EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to a foggy evening in 1975, where England manager Don Revie stands amidst the ethereal mist during an abandoned game against Czechoslovakia. The photograph captures the enigmatic atmosphere at Tehelne Pole (Slovan), Bratislava, as Revie's figure emerges from the dense fog. As the match commenced, it became evident that nature had other plans for this European Championship Qualifier. Just seventeen minutes into the game, the severity of the fog forced officials to halt proceedings with both teams locked in a goalless stalemate. The surreal scene depicted here reflects not only Revie's stoic determination but also echoes the frustration felt by players and fans alike. Undeterred by Mother Nature's interference, both teams returned to battle on another day. However, destiny favored Czechoslovakia as they emerged triumphant with a 2-1 victory over their English counterparts. This evocative image serves as a reminder of how unpredictable and uncontrollable elements can shape sporting events. It encapsulates both disappointment and resilience while highlighting Don Revie's unwavering commitment to his team despite adverse conditions. Colorsport photographer Andrew Cowie has masterfully captured this moment frozen in time – an enduring testament to football's ability to captivate us even when obscured by nature's mysterious veil.
