I don't know the other side of the story, but Ed says there couldn't be any doubt bet that the uniformed footballers were the target of that rifle fire from the stands. Says he: . "The turf all around me was being kicked up in fantastic fashion by rifle bullets. For fully ten minutes it kept up, and the fear had such a grip on me that I literally dug myself into the giouad. When I got up gain. I looked more black than white but I was still aiive. Seven teen people were killed in the stadium that day." Riflemen Tell Ed It's Time to Begin Praying. Ed says he doesn't know the real reason for the shooting doesn't know whether the riflemen were out to average up the morning's shootings and avenge their officers by killing tho most popular Irishmen in town that day, or whether they really believed the footballers lu j something to do with the earlier disorders. At any rate, they r.aVbsd and held him for questioning, and again he stood in danger of losing Lis life. They took him off in a corner and began to ask questions. Ed answered them but that didn't do any good. "You kn-.plenty that you won't tell," one of them told him. And he advised Ed to pray, because he wasn't going to get out alive. "I tried to be calm," says Ed, "but a gun stuck in your ribs for twenty minutes or so while you're waiting for it to go off isn't particularly conducive to calmness. The longer I waited, the more nervous I get. Gunplay Outside of Grounds Save's Athlete's Life. "A burst of gunfire right outside the grounds upset the equilibrium of the bloodthirsty gentleman who held the gun, and for a momert 1 thought I was done for sure. But it was that gunfire that, in the end, saved my life. It took my captor's attention away from me for a moment, and I breathed a sigh of relief." And that fellow never fully got his attention back on Ed. A little while after that he was gone, and Ed heaved another one of those relieved sighs, and lost no time getting out of that 41am himself. . That, boys and girls, is the story of the bloodiest, most football game in history. But maybe I was wrong to call thi.i a sport story. When football comes like that it isn't sport any more.
