EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1977 British Lions Tour to New Zealand, we witness a defining moment in Peter Squires' rugby career. As the British Lions faced off against the formidable New Zealand Maoris at Eden Park, Auckland, Squires showcased his exceptional skills and determination. With unwavering focus, he charges forward towards the try line, leaving defenders in his wake. However, fate had other plans for Squires on that fateful day. Just as victory seemed within reach, tragedy struck as he pulled a hamstring during his triumphant run. The excruciating pain etched across his face tells a story of both physical agony and immense disappointment. This unfortunate injury proved to be more than just a temporary setback for Squires; it marked the end of his tour with the British Lions. Forced to watch from the sidelines for the remainder of their journey through New Zealand, he could only offer support and encouragement to his teammates. Colin Elsey's masterful capture freezes this poignant moment in time forever. It serves as a reminder that even heroes are not immune to adversity and setbacks can occur when least expected. Despite this heartbreaking turn of events, Peter Squires' valiant effort remains an indelible testament to his skill and dedication on one unforgettable day in rugby history.
