EDITORS COMMENTS
In this thrilling photograph captured at Ashton Gate Stadium on September 14, 2010, two determined footballers go head-to-head in a fierce battle for possession during the Championship match between Bristol City and Watford. The players in question are Jon Stead of Bristol City and Adrian Mariappa of Watford. Stead, wearing the iconic blue and white stripes of Bristol City, is seen lunging forward with all his might, attempting to dispossess Mariappa of the ball. The Watford defender, wearing the black and yellow stripes, stands firm, shielding the ball with his body and using his strong legs to prevent Stead from making a clean tackle. The tension in the air is palpable as both players give their all in this intense moment of the game. The crowd at Ashton Gate Stadium roars in anticipation, knowing that the outcome of this battle could be a turning point in the match.

Joe Meredith, the photographer, expertly captures the raw emotion and energy of the moment, making this photograph a must-have for any football fan or collector of sports memorabilia. The image is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when football was about more than just money and commercialism.

This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of football in Bristol and the passion that still burns bright at Ashton Gate Stadium. It is a reminder of the thrills and spills of the Championship and the unforgettable moments that make football the beautiful game.
