This evocative photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the opening day of the 2015/16 SkyBet Championship season as Preston North End (PNE) take on Milton Keynes Dons (MK Dons) at Deepdale Stadium on August 15, 2015. The image, taken by renowned sports photographer Dave Kendall, showcases Tom Clarke, the PNE captain, proudly leading his team out onto the pitch, with the sea of supporters in the stands behind him, eagerly awaiting the kick-off. The 2015/16 season marked a significant turning point for Preston North End, who were aiming to secure a promotion back to the Premier League after a 14-year absence. The team had endured a challenging 2014/15 campaign, finishing in 11th place in the Championship. However, under the guidance of manager Simon Grayson, they were determined to make a strong start to the new season. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric as the players took to the field, with both sets of fans creating a cacophony of noise and color. The first half of the match was evenly contested, with neither team able to gain a clear advantage. However, in the second half, PNE stepped up their game, with Tom Clarke scoring the opening goal in the 64th minute, followed by a second goal from Joe Garner in the 89th minute, securing a 2-0 victory for the home team. This triumphant start to the season gave the fans and the team a renewed sense of hope and belief that they could achieve their ultimate goal of promotion. The image of Tom Clarke leading the team out onto the pitch serves as a powerful reminder of that moment, encapsulating the spirit and determination of Preston North End Football Club as they embarked on their journey towards Championship glory.
