In this evocative photograph taken by Tony Marshall during the 2012-13 pre-season, former Reading Football Club defender Nicky Shorey is seen in action against AFC Wimbledon at The Cherry Red Records Stadium. The image captures a pivotal moment in the friendly match as Shorey, wearing the blue and white hoops of Reading, prepares to defend against an attack from the home team. The pre-season friendlies are an essential part of the football calendar, providing valuable opportunities for managers and players to assess their squads, test new formations, and build team morale before the start of the competitive season. In this instance, Reading were gearing up for another campaign in the Championship, having been relegated from the Premier League the previous season. Nicky Shorey, a versatile defender with a wealth of experience in the English Football League, joined Reading in the summer of 2012. Having previously played for the likes of West Bromwich Albion, Ipswich Town, and Millwall, Shorey brought a steady hand and a wealth of knowledge to the Reading backline. As the sun sets on the scene, the atmosphere at The Cherry Red Records Stadium is electric, with both sets of fans creating a cacophony of noise that echoes around the ground. The anticipation is palpable, as both teams look to stake their claim in what promises to be an exciting encounter. This photograph not only serves as a reminder of a pivotal moment in Reading's pre-season preparations, but also encapsulates the passion and excitement of grassroots football, as two teams battle it out on the pitch, with the promise of the new season just around the corner.
