EDITORS COMMENTS
In this thrilling moment captured during the Johnstone's Paint Trophy match between Bristol City and Gillingham at Ashton Gate on January 29, 2015, we see Bristol City's Matt Smith being tackled fiercely by Gillingham's John Egan. The tension in the air was palpable as both teams battled it out in the area final of the JPT, with a place in the Wembley final at stake. The old stadium was filled with an electric atmosphere as the first team of the 2014-15 season took to the pitch, determined to secure victory. The Johnstone's Paint Trophy, now known as the Checkatrade Trophy, is a competitive fixture that provides an opportunity for teams to claim silverware outside of the league season. In this image, we see Smith, in the blue and white of Bristol City, being tackled from behind by Gillingham's Egan. The force of the challenge sends Smith sprawling to the ground, but he manages to hold on to the ball, preventing a potential turnover. The expression on Smith's face shows determination and grit, while Egan's intensity is evident in his focused gaze and clenched jaw. This photograph, taken by Dougie Allward of JMP, captures the competitive spirit of football and the intensity of the JPT. The image is a reminder of the passion and dedication that both players and fans bring to the beautiful game, making moments like this a cherished part of football history.
