EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense controversy during the Newcastle United versus Southampton match in the Inter Cities Fairs Cup, 3rd round 1st leg. The final score may have been 0-0, but it was this particular incident that had everyone talking. In the closing minutes of last night's Fairs Cup-tie at St James Park on December 17th, 1969, Keith Dyson, Newcastle United's inside-right player, found himself brought down inside the penalty box. As he tumbled to the ground amidst strong appeals from his teammates and fans alike, all eyes turned towards the referee. The question on everyone's lips: was it or wasn't it a penalty? This single moment held immense significance for both teams as they battled for victory in this high-stakes match. However, despite fervent protests from Newcastle United players and supporters pleading for a spot kick to be awarded, their pleas fell on deaf ears. This photograph freezes that split-second decision forever - an image that encapsulates not only the raw emotions felt by those present but also serves as a testament to the unpredictability and drama inherent in football matches of this era. Now preserved within Memory Lane Prints' collection from NCJ Archive, this snapshot transports us back to an era when every tackle carried weighty consequences and decisions made by referees could shape destinies. It is a reminder of how even seemingly small moments can leave lasting impressions on sporting history.
