EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic moment in football history was captured by acclaimed sports photographer Mike Egerton during the FA Barclays Premiership match between Manchester United and Chelsea at Old Trafford in 2005. The image immortalizes a gracious gesture of sportsmanship as Manchester United players formed a guard of honor for their rivals, the newly crowned Premiership champions, Chelsea. The scene unfolds as the Blues players walk onto the hallowed turf of Old Trafford, surrounded by the red sea of Manchester United fans, who had eagerly anticipated a thrilling encounter between two of the most successful clubs in English football. However, the mood in the stadium took a dramatic turn as the reality of Chelsea's title triumph became apparent. Manchester United players, led by their captain, Roy Keane, lined up to pay tribute to their rivals, acknowledging their achievements and demonstrating a level of respect and sportsmanship that transcended the fierce rivalry between the two teams. The image encapsulates the camaraderie and unity of the football community, even in the face of intense competition. This poignant moment marked the end of an era for Manchester United, who had dominated the Premiership for much of the previous decade. Chelsea, under the guidance of manager Jose Mourinho, had defied the odds to snatch the title from under their rivals' noses, and the guard of honor was a testament to their resilience and determination. Egerton's photograph has become a classic moment in the annals of Premier League history, a symbol of respect, sportsmanship, and the unifying power of football. It serves as a reminder that, despite the intensity of competition, the spirit of the game remains alive and well.
