EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photo captures the poignant moment during the Sky Bet Championship match between Brighton and Hove Albion and Wigan Athletic, held at the American Express Community Stadium in Brighton and Hove, England on 8th November 2014. The image focuses on the figure of the 'Poppy Man, ' who pays tribute to the fallen soldiers by holding up a large poppy during the pre-match minutes' silence. The Poppy Man is a tradition that has become synonymous with football matches in the United Kingdom, particularly during the commemoration of Remembrance Day and other significant military anniversaries. The season was the 2014-15 campaign, and this home game against Blackburn Rovers was a crucial fixture in Brighton's Championship journey. The atmosphere in the stadium was palpable as the crowd held their breath in respect for the fallen heroes. The Poppy Man's gesture served as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the military personnel throughout history. This photograph encapsulates the essence of football's role in bringing communities together, not just for the love of the game, but also for the opportunity to honor the past and pay tribute to those who have given their lives for our freedom. The Poppy Man's presence at the match symbolizes the unity and respect that exists between football clubs, their fans, and the military, making this image a poignant and enduring symbol of the spirit of football". Paul Hazlewood captured this moment, immortalizing it as a testament to the enduring connection between football and the commemoration of our military heroes. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of remembering the past and honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
