EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the intense Scottish Premier Division match between Aberdeen and Glasgow Rangers at Pittodrie Stadium on September 25th, 1982. The image captures a pivotal moment in the game as Rangers striker Derek Johnstone rises above his opponents with incredible athleticism, executing a powerful header towards goal. However, fate had other plans as Aberdeen's goalkeeper Jim Leighton found himself in the line of fire. With lightning-fast reflexes, Leighton instinctively positioned himself to make the save but was unable to avoid taking an unexpected blow right on his nose from Johnstone's thunderous header. Despite this unfortunate collision, Leighton managed to maintain his composure and successfully clutched onto the ball. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the raw intensity and physicality of football during that era. It showcases not only Johnstone's exceptional aerial ability but also highlights Leighton's unwavering determination and resilience as he puts his body on the line for his team. This snapshot freezes a fleeting moment forever etched in Scottish football history - a testament to both players' skill and commitment. Eric Craig has expertly captured this iconic scene through his lens, allowing us to relive this thrilling encounter between two fierce rivals battling it out on the pitch.
