EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Everton footballer Gary Stevens the day after his unfortunate tackle that resulted in the leg break of Liverpool player Jim Beglin during their intense Littlewoods Cup quarter-final clash. The aftermath of this incident ignited a heated war of words between the two teams, while Beglin found himself confined to a hospital bed receiving treatment for what Anfield boss Bob Paisley described as one of the most severe breaks he had ever witnessed. Stevens, taken aback by the vehement reaction from both Liverpool players and fans at the time, was left defending himself against accusations. He expressed his shock over their furious protests, emphasizing that there was no malicious intent behind his actions. In an attempt to retrieve a lost ball, he simply lost control momentarily. The date etched in history as 22nd January 1987 serves as a reminder not only of this significant event but also reflects upon the sport's intensity during that era. This portrait showcases Stevens' determination and resilience amidst controversy and highlights how even celebrated athletes can find themselves entangled in unforeseen circumstances. Alfred Markey's skillful capture immortalizes this moment forever on film, allowing us to revisit an important chapter in football history. As we gaze upon this image today, it reminds us of the passion and emotions evoked by sports rivalries while serving as a testament to enduring memories captured through photography.
