EDITORS COMMENTS
In this electrifying moment captured by David Davies during the 2012-13 Npower Football League Championship match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley at Molineux Stadium, goalkeeper Dorus De Vries is seen making a heroic save that secured a crucial three points for his team. With Burnley pressing hard for an equalizer, the tension in the air was palpable as the visitors threatened to snatch a point from the jaws of defeat. De Vries, a Dutch international, had been a rock in the Wolves' defense throughout the season, and his exceptional reflexes and shot-stopping abilities had been instrumental in helping his team mount a late challenge for promotion. In this pivotal moment, he rose to the occasion once again, diving full-length to his left to parry away a powerful strike from Burnley's leading scorer, Chris Wood. The crowd erupted into a frenzy of cheers and applause as De Vries' teammates closed ranks around him, celebrating the goalkeeper's heroics and their narrow victory. The save not only denied Burnley a goal but also boosted Wolves' morale, propelling them towards the playoffs and eventually securing their place in the Premier League. This iconic image encapsulates the drama, excitement, and unpredictability of Championship football, and serves as a testament to De Vries' exceptional skill and determination. It is a moment that Wolves fans will never forget, and a reminder of the thrilling journey that took their team to the promised land of the top flight.
