Great moment captured in time: Coventry City's Craig Bellamy and Moustapha Hadji celebrate the Sky Blues' first goal against Leicester City during the FA Premiership game at Filbert Street on April 7,2001. This iconic photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer Haydn West, marks a significant milestone in Coventry City's football history. The season was 2000-01, and the FA Carling Premiership match against Leicester City was a crucial one for both teams. The atmosphere was electric as Coventry City, then managed by Gordon Strachan, sought to secure a valuable three points against their Midlands rivals. In the 17th minute, Craig Bellamy, a prolific striker on loan from Celtic, capitalized on a defensive error to score the opening goal. Bellamy's strike electrified the Coventry City supporters, and his teammates were quick to rally around him in celebration. Among the first to join in the jubilation was Moustapha Hadji, a Moroccan midfielder known for his skill and tenacity on the pitch. The image of Bellamy and Hadji, their faces alight with joy and relief, is a testament to the camaraderie and team spirit that defined Coventry City during this era. The goal proved to be a turning point in the game, as Coventry City went on to secure a hard-fought 2-1 victory. This photograph is a cherished reminder of a memorable moment in Coventry City's football history, and a tribute to the passion and determination of the players and fans who made it possible.
