In this evocative photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer John Walton during the pre-season friendlies of the 2012-13 season, Coventry City's Kevin Kilbane leads his team out onto the lush green pitch of De Montfort Park for a clash against local rivals Hinckley United. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, illuminating the determined expression on Kilbane's face as he gazes out at the opposing team. Kilbane, a veteran midfielder with over 500 professional appearances to his name, had joined Coventry City the previous year, bringing with him a wealth of experience and leadership qualities that would prove invaluable to the Sky Blues during the upcoming campaign. The pre-season fixtures were an opportunity for manager Mark Robins to assess his squad and fine-tune tactics ahead of the new season. The atmosphere at De Montfort Park was electric, with a sizeable crowd turning out to support their hometown team and witness the return of their new signing. Kilbane, ever the consummate professional, took it upon himself to rally his teammates and inspire them to victory, as evidenced by his commanding presence in this image. The pre-season friendly against Hinckley United would ultimately end in a hard-fought 2-1 victory for Coventry City, with Kilbane playing a pivotal role in midfield and setting the tone for the team's performances throughout the season. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era in Coventry City's history, capturing the essence of pre-season camaraderie, determination, and the thrill of competition.
