The image, taken by renowned football photographer Matthew Ashton, showcases the determination and focus in McAllister's eyes as he prepares to face a tough Derby County side. The 2002-03 season was a crucial one for Coventry City, who were battling against relegation.

McAllister's leadership was evident as he rallied his team, inspiring them to a hard-fought 1-0 victory. The win was a morale booster for Coventry City, who went on to record several more positive results in the following weeks, ultimately securing their place in the Division One for another season. This photo is a testament to McAllister's impact on Coventry City during his time as player-manager. It captures the intensity and focus of a crucial moment in the team's history and serves as a reminder of the crucial role that leadership plays in football.
