In this evocative photograph, Ross Barkley of Everton Football Club pays tribute to his former teammate and mentor, Keith Southern, during Everton's testimonial match against Blackpool at Bloomfield Road in the 2012-13 pre-season. The image captures a poignant moment as Barkley places his hand on Southern's shoulder in a heartfelt show of respect and appreciation. Southern, a midfielder who spent seven years at Everton between 2005 and 2012, was a beloved figure at Goodison Park. Known for his tenacity, determination, and unwavering commitment to the team, he was a role model for the younger players, including Ross Barkley. The testimonial match was an opportunity for Everton fans to celebrate Southern's career and acknowledge his significant contributions to the club. The event brought together past and present players, as well as fans, to honor the retiring midfielder. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of nostalgia and camaraderie, as players and fans alike reflected on Southern's time at Everton. Barkley, who had come through the Everton Academy, was particularly grateful for Southern's guidance and support during his early years at the club. The two players had formed a strong bond, both on and off the pitch, and Barkley's gesture in this photograph is a testament to the enduring impact Southern had on his career. The image also serves as a reminder of the special bond that exists between players and fans, as well as the importance of recognizing and celebrating the achievements of those who have given their all to the game. The photograph is a poignant snapshot of a moment in time, capturing the spirit of football and the enduring connections that are forged on the field.
