In this evocative photograph, taken on the 2nd of November, 2013, at Ashton Gate, the home ground of Bristol City Football Club, Oldham Athletic Manager Lee Johnson makes an emotional return to his former stomping ground. The Sky Bet League One fixture between the two teams marked a significant moment in Johnson's managerial career, as he faced his previous employers for the first time since leaving the club in the summer of 2013. Johnson, who had spent over five years at Bristol City as a player and coach, was a popular figure among the fans. His departure was met with sadness and disappointment, but the Oldham Athletic manager was determined to make a mark in his new role. As he stepped onto the hallowed turf of Ashton Gate, Johnson was greeted with a mixture of cheers and boos from the passionate fans. The atmosphere was electric, and the tension was palpable. But despite the animosity, Johnson remained composed, focusing on the task at hand – leading his team to victory. The image captures the intensity of the moment, with Johnson's intense gaze fixed on the pitch, while the fans in the background are a sea of emotions – some cheering, some jeering, but all united by their love for the beautiful game. The photograph is a testament to the passion and drama that surrounds football, and the unique bond between a manager and his fans. This photograph, taken during the 13-14 season, is a reminder of the competitive nature of football in England and the excitement that comes with a league fixture between two rival teams. It is a moment frozen in time, a snapshot of the highs and lows of football management, and a tribute to the enduring love affair between fans and their teams.
