In this poignant moment captured at Ashton Gate on February 11, 2013, Oldham Athletic Manager Lee Johnson makes an emotional return to his former club, Bristol City. Johnson, who had started his professional football career at Bristol City under his father Garry Johnson, faced his old team for the first time as a manager in a Sky Bet League One fixture. The atmosphere was electric as the two teams took to the field, with Johnson's return adding an extra layer of intrigue to an already competitive match. The stands were filled with fans eager to witness the reunion of the popular manager with his former club. Johnson, who had spent eight years at Bristol City as a player between 2001 and 2009, cut an emotional figure as he was greeted by his former teammates and staff. The bond between Johnson and the Bristol City community was evident as he was given a warm welcome back to the club he holds dear. Despite the emotional significance of the occasion, both teams remained focused on the task at hand, with the three points up for grabs in this important league fixture. The game ended in a 1-1 draw, with neither side able to gain the upper hand. This photograph by Joe Meredith captures the essence of the moment, with Johnson deep in thought as he reflects on his past and looks towards the future. The image serves as a reminder of the deep connections that exist between football clubs and their managers and players, and the enduring impact that sport can have on individuals and communities.
