Great moment captured at Bury's Gigg Lane on July 15, 2011, as Everton FC's Leon Osman leads his teammates in the traditional pre-season kick-off ceremony. With the new football season just around the corner, the Toffees were putting the final touches on their preparations with a friendly match against Bury FC. Osman, a long-serving Everton midfielder, stood confidently in the center circle, surrounded by his teammates, all dressed in their blue and white striped away kit. The sun was setting behind them, casting a warm glow over the pitch and creating an idyllic setting for the start of another exciting season. The pre-season friendlies are an important part of a football team's build-up to the new campaign. They provide an opportunity for managers to assess the fitness and form of their players, as well as to test out new tactics and formations. For the players, they offer a chance to get back into the swing of things after a long summer break, and to build up their match fitness. In this image, Osman, a popular figure at Everton, is seen in his element, leading his teammates in the traditional kick-off ceremony. His expression is focused and determined, reflecting the intense concentration required to excel at the highest level of football. The team's unity and camaraderie are also evident, as they stand together, ready to take on the challenges of the upcoming season. This photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer Nigel French, captures the essence of the pre-season build-up and the excitement and anticipation that comes with the start of a new football season. It is a reminder of the passion and dedication that drives players and fans alike, and the unique bond that exists between them.
