[post_page_title]Ball in the face[/post_page_title]
Back in the 1940s cameramen had to put themselves in danger of being hit by the heavy leather balls the players used to play with. Now the cameras can be controlled remotely, but back then cameramen would sit behind the goal praying not to get hit. This shot was taken during the 1949 FA Cup semi-final between Manchester United and Wolves. As the ball came racing toward him this cameraman dived out of the way but took this incredibly well-timed shot of the ball narrowly missing the goal.
