EDITORS COMMENTS
In this electrifying moment captured during the Championship match between Hull City and Bristol City on December 18, 2010, at KC Stadium in Hull, England, Hull City's Ian Ashbee and Lee Johnson of Bristol City engage in an intense clash. The image, taken by Joe Meredith, documents the split second before Ashbee kicks out at Johnson, who is about to challenge for the ball. Despite the clear contact made by Ashbee, the referee chose not to issue a card, allowing play to continue. This decision left many spectators, including those from the opposing team, in disbelief. The old-fashioned, no-holds-barred mentality of football in the Championship was on full display as both players gave their all on the pitch. This first-team encounter between Hull City and Bristol City during the 10-11 season was a hard-fought battle, with both teams vying for position in the Championship standings. The tension between the two sides was palpable throughout the game, making this moment all the more dramatic. As the action unfolds, Ashbee, wearing the number 16 jersey, raises his foot and connects with Johnson, who wears the number 11. Johnson reels back from the impact, momentarily stunned. The crowd holds its breath, unsure of the outcome. In the end, the referee's decision not to punish Ashbee for the foul sparked controversy and added fuel to the fiery rivalry between the two clubs. This photograph serves as a testament to the passion and intensity that defines football, particularly in the Championship. It captures the raw emotion and determination of two players giving their all on the pitch, even in the face of adversity. The image remains a memorable moment in the history of Hull City and Bristol City's storied rivalry.
