1 December 1974:Manchester Utd fans behind bars,Context/External gig
"The Stretford End of Manchester United football ground ground is a kind of cademy of violence,where promising young fans can study the arts of intimidation," wrote Keith Colquhoun in the text accompanying Ray Greens photograph. The shot indeed captured the club at an extremely low ebb,relegated to the second Division and bedevilled by hooliganism. A pitch invasion following defeat to Manchaster City-with a late goal from former United hero Denis Law- led to the construction of 9ft spiked fences behind both goals,through which their fans are seen urging the team on in this photograph.AC.
