1971 , Newspaper’s controversial photo.
The year’s most controversial football picture. This is the picture which caused so much controversy at last night’s WANFL Tribunal Hearing at which Claremont’s full-back Lorne cook was suspended for 4 weeks. East Perth’s Phil Tierney was named by Claremont officials as the player lying on the ground. However, boundary umpire Charlie Pratt said the picture, which was given to Claremont officials shortly before the hearing was a fabrication.
