EDITORS COMMENTS
This electrifying photograph captures the intensity and passion of Championship football as Aston Villa and Preston North End clash in their highly anticipated match on 21st January 2017. With both teams vying for a coveted spot in the English Football League's top tier, the stakes were high, and the energy on the field was palpable. Preston North End, under the guidance of their charismatic manager, Simon Grayson, had been making waves in the league, defying expectations and challenging the established order. Their determined and resilient performances had earned them a reputation as a force to be reckoned with. Aston Villa, on the other hand, were a club in transition. Having recently been relegated from the Premier League, they were working to rebuild and return to their former glory. The pressure was on their new manager, Steve Bruce, to deliver results and restore the faith of their loyal fanbase. As the teams took to the pitch at Deepdale, the atmosphere was electric. The crowd roared as the players locked horns in a battle of wits and skills. In this moment, captured by renowned sports photographer Dave Kendall, Preston North End's players can be seen in a fierce tussle, embodying the spirit of competition and determination that defined their season. The 2016/17 Championship campaign was a rollercoaster ride for Preston North End, filled with highs and lows. But through it all, they remained focused and resilient, ultimately securing a place in the play-offs and earning a promotion back to the Premier League after a 15-year absence. This photograph stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment and the unforgettable journey that followed.
