EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures the thrilling moment of The Great Pitch Invasion during the 1966 FA Cup Final between Everton Football Club and Sheffield Wednesday. The image, taken by Action Images photographer MSI, shows a brave fan's daring escape from the pursuing policemen after storming the pitch in celebration of Everton's victory. The FA Cup Final, held on 7 May 1966 at Wembley Stadium, was a highly anticipated match between two formidable teams. Everton, led by the legendary Howard Kendall, had reached the final for the first time in 18 years, while Sheffield Wednesday, under the management of Ron Saunders, were seeking their first major trophy. The tension was palpable as the two teams battled it out on the pitch, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw after extra time. The scene then turned chaotic as thousands of Everton fans, carried away by the excitement of the moment, invaded the pitch to celebrate their team's achievement. The photograph captures the moment of exhilaration and danger as a fan, dressed in an Everton scarf and hat, makes a run for it, with determined policemen in hot pursuit. The fan's expression of pure joy and relief as he outmaneuvers his pursuers is a testament to the passion and spirit of football fans. The Great Pitch Invasion at the 1966 FA Cup Final became a defining moment in football history, symbolizing the unbreakable bond between fans and their teams. Despite the chaos and the potential danger, the fan's daring escape remains a symbol of the unbridled enthusiasm and excitement that football brings to fans around the world.
