EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from the 1981 UEFA Cup, we witness a moment of pure footballing brilliance and determination. St Etiennes Michel Platini and Ipswichs Eric Gates stand side by side at Portman Road, their expressions reflecting the intensity of the game that has just unfolded. The match in question was the second leg of the quarter-finals, where Ipswich Town emerged victorious with a resounding 3-1 scoreline (7-2 on aggregate). The atmosphere at Portman Road must have been electric as these two legendary players faced off against each other. Michel Platini, widely regarded as one of football's greatest midfielders, represented St Etienne during this encounter. His skill and vision were evident throughout his illustrious career, which later saw him become one of France's most successful national team managers. On the other hand, Eric Gates proudly donned Ipswich Town's jersey during this memorable clash. Known for his versatility and tenacity on the pitch, Gates played an instrumental role in helping his team secure victory over their formidable opponents. This photograph captures a fleeting moment frozen in time; it encapsulates both teams' commitment to achieving success in European competition. It serves as a reminder of how football can bring people together from different backgrounds and ignite passions that transcend borders.
