EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image captured by renowned sports photographer Lee Mills during the Birmingham City vs Everton match in the 2008 Premier League season, Joleon Lescott of Everton Football Club takes a moment to salute the passionate fans at St. Andrews. The date was December 4,2008, and the tension in the air was palpable as two fierce rivals went head-to-head in a highly anticipated clash. Lescott, a Birmingham native and former Blues player, had made the contentious decision to leave his boyhood club and join Everton during the previous summer transfer window. The move had not been met with open arms by the Birmingham faithful, and the defender was subjected to a frosty reception upon his return to his former stomping ground. Despite the animosity towards him, Lescott remained composed and professional throughout the game. With the scoreline delicately poised at 1-1 in the closing stages, Everton managed to secure a late victory, thanks to a goal by Tim Cahill. As the final whistle blew, Lescott, who had put in an excellent performance, took a moment to acknowledge the appreciation of the traveling Everton supporters. In this powerful image, Lescott raises his hand in a respectful salute, acknowledging the unwavering loyalty and passion of the Everton fans. The contrasting emotions of triumph and defiance are evident on the faces of the supporters, as they celebrate their team's victory and express their displeasure towards the former Blue. The scene encapsulates the raw intensity and passion that is synonymous with football, and serves as a testament to the enduring rivalry between Birmingham City and Everton.
