EDITORS COMMENTS
This unforgettable moment in Bristol City's history took place on January 15, 2011, during the Championship match against Middlesbrough at Ashton Gate Stadium. In a surprising turn of events, regular goalkeeper David James was shown a red card, leaving the team in a crisis. Enter Liam Fontaine, a defender by trade, who was called upon to step into the goalkeeper's gloves for the first time in his professional career. Fontaine, an old hand in the first team and a popular figure among fans, was a surprise choice to replace the experienced James. But with no time to waste, he donned the gloves and took his place between the posts. The crowd roared their support as the referee signaled for the game to continue. The pressure was on, but Fontaine rose to the occasion. He made save after save, keeping a clean sheet and earning his team a valuable point in a hard-fought draw. The fans went wild as the final whistle blew, hailing Fontaine as a hero. This unexpected debut marked a memorable moment in the annals of Bristol City Football Club. Fontaine's bravery and determination in the face of adversity demonstrated the true spirit of the team and the resilience of its players. This photo captures the intensity and excitement of that day, a day when a defender became a goalkeeper and helped secure an important result for his team.
