Great moment from Everton Football Club's pre-season friendly against Bury on 15 July 2011, captured beautifully by renowned sports photographer Nigel French. In this image, Everton manager Mikel Arteta leads his team out onto the pitch at Gigg Lane, Bury, as they prepare to take on their opponents in the final warm-up match before the start of the new season. Arteta, who had joined Everton as a player just a few months earlier, had been appointed as the Toffees' new manager in May 2011, following the departure of David Moyes. This was his first opportunity to lead his new team out in front of their fans, and the excitement and anticipation are palpable on his face. The Spanish midfielder had enjoyed a successful career as a player, having represented Arsenal, Rangers, and Barcelona, among others. However, this was a new challenge for him, and he was determined to make a positive impact as both a manager and a player for Everton. The pre-season friendly against Bury marked the beginning of Arteta's journey with the Merseyside club, and it was an important step towards building the team's morale and preparing them for the upcoming Premier League campaign. The image of Arteta leading his team out onto the pitch is a powerful reminder of the start of an exciting new chapter in Everton's history. Nigel French's photograph perfectly captures the moment, with the Everton manager's determined expression and the sea of blue shirts behind him, creating a sense of unity and purpose. It's a moment that encapsulates the spirit of football and the excitement of a new season, and it's a memory that Everton fans will cherish for years to come.
