"'Iron Hand'" is a song by the rock band Dire Straits released on their album 'On Every Street' in 1991. The song also appeared on the compilation album 'Nintendo: White Knuckle Scorin' in the same year of its release. It relates to the Battle of Orgreave during the UK miners' strike, with Mark Knopfler remarking on how the police charge on horseback into the crowd of striking miners had reminded him of the savagery of medieval times.[https://web.archive.org/web/20060211112120/http://www.ada.com.tr/~modabasi/dsint3.htm On Every Street - An interview with Mark Knopfler] - BBC Radio 1FM, date unknown (pre-release to 'On Every Street'), transcript via private website.
