EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this nostalgic photo print, we witness the bittersweet moment as Leeds United manager Don Revie and his dedicated backroom staff make their way back to Manchester Airport after a heart-wrenching defeat in the 1973 European Cup Winners Cup Final against AC Milan. The team's exhaustion is palpable, yet their heads are held high, reflecting the resilience that defined them throughout their journey. As they board the aircraft, one cannot help but admire the camaraderie between Revie and his trusted companions. Their unity remains unshaken despite facing controversial decisions by Greek referee Christos Michas during that fateful match at Kaftanzoglio Stadium in Thessaloniki. The pain of losing 0-1 lingers, but it does not overshadow their unwavering determination. This snapshot from the 1970s encapsulates an era when air travel was still a novelty; a time when managers like Revie were revered figures who guided their teams with passion and expertise. It serves as a reminder of how far football has come since then. John Varley's expert lens captures not just an image but also emotions frozen in time. This photograph transports us back to May 17th, 1973—a day etched into Leeds United's history—where triumph turned into disappointment amidst controversy. It stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of these men who fought valiantly on foreign soil.
